Widespread Distribution in Polar Oceans of a 16S rRNA Gene Sequence with Affinity to Nitrosospira -Like Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria
ABSTRACT We analyzed the phylogenetic compositions of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria of the β subclass of Proteobacteria from 42 Southern Ocean samples. We found a Nitrosospira -like 16S rRNA gene sequence in all 20 samples that yielded PCR products (8 of 30 samples from the Ross Sea and 12 of 12 sample...
