Session: Nitrification: New Players and Environmental Drivers: I (ASA, CSSA and SSSA International Annual Meetings (2015))

372 Nitrification: New Players and Environmental Drivers: I

Oral Session

SSSA Division: Soil Biology & Biochemistry

The role of ammonia oxidizing bacteria in mediating the first and rate limiting step of nitrification has been known for many decades while the role of ammonia oxidizing archaea is a recent discovery. In this session the impact of various environmental factors on functional and niche differentiations of the two groups of organisms will be presented and discussed.

Approved for 2.5 SW CEUs.
