Diversity of ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) genes across environmental gradients in Chesapeake Bay sediments (2003, methodology): “© 2003 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Geobiology , 1 , 129‐140 AOB belong to a closely related group of β - Proteobacteria ( Purkhold et al ., 2000 ), which includes the genera Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira (which now encompasses the former genera Nitrosovibrio and Nitrosolobus ); the widely distributed ”
Nitrous oxide emissions from grazed grassland as affected by a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide, and relationships with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (2010, background): “Until recently, the first ratelimiting step of nitrification, the oxidization of NH3 to hydroxylamine, is thought to be carried out mainly by autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the βand γ-subgroups of proteobacteria (Purkhold et al. 2000; Kowalchuk and Stephen 2001).”
Complete nitrification by Nitrospira bacteria (2015, positive): “The amoA gene is a functional and phylogenetic marker for AOM33,34, which has been utilized in numerous studies as a cultivation-independent tool to detect and identify AOM in microbial communities.”

Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes (2010, neutral): “Two 4 other species, Nitrosococcus oceani and N. halophilus, are affiliated with the 5 Gammaproteobacteria (Holmes et al., 1995; Purkhold et al., 2000), and appear to be restricted to 6 marine or saline environments.”
Relative contributions of archaea and bacteria to aerobic ammonia oxidation in the environment. (2008, background): “For example, most soil bacterial ammonia oxidizers belong to Nitrosospira clusters 2, 3 and 4, whereas sequences placed within cluster 1 are recovered from marine-influenced habitats (Purkhold et al., 2000).”
Novel genes for nitrite reductase and Amo-related proteins indicate a role of uncultivated mesophilic crenarchaeota in nitrogen cycling. (2005, background): “Due to its higher diversity compared with 16S rRNA genes, it allows a greater resolution for the study of genetic differences in natural populations of AOB ( Purkhold et al ., 2000 ).”
Quantitative analyses of the abundance and composition of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing archaea of a Chinese upland red soil under long-term fertilization practices. (2007, background): “Autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) affiliated with the b- and g-proteobacteria have been considered the most important contributors to aerobic ammonia oxidation (Purkhold et al., 2000).”
