Candidatus Brocadia and Candidatus Kuenenia predominated in anammox bacterial community in selected Chinese paddy soils

摘要

Anammox bacteria have been widely investigated in both natural aquatic habitats and wastewater treatment reactors. However, their distribution in agricultural ecosystems which receive high reactive nitrogen input is hardly known. This study aims to examine the distribution and diversity of anammox bacteria in different Chinese paddy soils and along soil profile horizons.
