Abundance of Ammonia-Oxidizing Microorganisms in Response to Environmental Variables of Hot Springs in Yunnan Province,China
云南地区热泉中氨氧化菌丰度对环境条件的响应

Objective] Investigation of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs) in hot springs is of significant importance to understand global nitrogen cycling. However,we still know little about the abundance of AOMs in hot springs. In this research,the abundance of AOMs in thirteen hot springs located in Yunnan Province,China,and the effects of environmental variables (e.g. temperature,pH and ammonia concentration,and certain ions) on the AOM abundance were studied. Methods] Microbial abundance in collected hot s...
