AB  - Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) communities within the surface 
      sediments of Lake Taihu, a large eutrophic freshwater lake in China, were 
      investigated using molecular approaches targeting the ammonia monooxygenase 
      subunit A (amoA) gene. Large intra-lake variability in the composition and the 
      relative abundance of both groups of ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes was observed. 
      Archaeal amoA far outnumbered bacterial amoA at most sites except those located 
      in the Eastern Taihu Bay. This bay, which is used for intensive pen aquaculture, 
      harboured the most unique AOA communities but was dominated by AOB in terms of 
      relative abundance. Accumulation of organic substances rather than presence of 
      submersed macrophytes significantly influenced the relative abundance of AOA. In 
      contrast, shifts in the abundance of AOB were not found to be significantly 
      related to the investigated environmental parameters. Phylogenetic analysis 
      showed that all archaeal amoA sequences fell within either the Crenarchaeotal 
      Group (CG) I.1b or the CG I.1a subgroup, and all AOB clustered exclusively with 
      the genus Nitrosomonas. These findings represent the first detailed survey of AOA 
      in eutrophic freshwater lake sediments by demonstrating that AOA dominate the 
      ammonia-oxidizing communities, and are negatively correlated with the 
      accumulation of organic substances.
