Comammox Nitrospira and Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea Are Dominant Ammonia Oxidizers in Sediments of an Acid Mine Lake Containing High Ammonium Concentrations

Abstract: Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) was previously considered the sole dominant ammonia oxidizer in acidic environments. This study, however, found that complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) Nitrospira was also a dominant ammonia oxidizer in the sediments of an acidic mine lake, which had an acidic pH < 5 and a high ammonium concentration of 175 mg-N/liter.

“…Fertilization particularly increased the abundance of the nitrification genes amoA-2 and amoB, meaning that amoA-2 and amoB genes possessed a greater effect on soil nitrification than the amoA-1 gene in this study. This is understandable, because the amoA-2 and amoB genes dominate nitrification under alkaline conditions [55,56].…”
