AB  - Ammonia oxidation is the first and rate-limiting step of nitrification, which is 
      carried out by two groups of microorganisms: ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and 
      the recently discovered ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). In this study, diversity 
      and abundance of AOB and AOA were investigated in five rock samples from a 
      deep-sea hydrothermal vent site at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) of the South 
      Atlantic Ocean. Both bacterial and archaeal ammonia monooxygenase subunit A 
      (amoA) gene sequences obtained in this study were closely related to the 
      sequences retrieved from deep-sea environments, indicating that AOB and AOA in 
      this hydrothermal vent site showed typical deep ocean features. AOA were more 
      diverse but less abundant than AOB. The ratios of AOA/AOB amoA gene abundance 
      ranged from 1/3893 to 1/242 in all investigate samples, indicating that bacteria 
      may be the major members responding to the aerobic ammonia oxidation in this 
      hydrothermal vent site. Furthermore, diversity and abundance of AOA and AOB were 
      significantly correlated with the contents of total nitrogen and total sulfur in 
      investigated samples, suggesting that these two environmental factors exert 
      strong influences on distribution of ammonia oxidizers in deep-sea hydrothermal 
      vent environment.
