Bacteria rather than Archaea dominate microbial ammonia oxidation in an agricultural soil
Z Jia, R Conrad - Environmental microbiology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Agricultural ecosystems annually receive approximately 25% of the global nitrogen input,
much of which is oxidized at least once by ammonia‐oxidizing prokaryotes to complete the …
