Short summary
The oxidation of ammonia by microbes has been shown to occur in diverse natural environments. However, the link of in situ nitrification activity to taxonomic identities of ammonia oxidizers in high-temperature environments remains poorly understood. Here, in combination of culture-independent and culture-dependent approaches, we provide direct evidences that ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA) are indeed responsible for the major portion of ammonia oxidation in high-temperature hot springs.
