Format: Poster Topical Session
Keywords: ammonia oxidizing archaea, ammonia oxidizing bacteria, nitrification inhibition and nitrogen availability and form

Session Description: 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 archae is a recent discovery. This poster session will include research on N cycling and nitrification process and communities, including new players of this process.
