Ammonia- and Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria: The Abundance, Niches and Compositional Differences for Diverse Soil Layers in Three Flooded Paddy Fields

Ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) and methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play cogent roles in oxidation and nitrification processes, and hence have important ecological functions in several ecosystems. However, their distribution and compositional differences in differe...
