Copy numbers of AOA and AOB amoA genes in sediment and water samples of the Yellow River estuary. (a) The data are presented as the mean ± SE of three independent experiments in each sediment site. (b) Box plots represent the differences in abundance between AOA and AOB amoA gene copies in sediment. (c) The data are presented as the mean ± SE of three independent experiments in each water site. (d) Box plots represent the differences in abundance between AOA and AOB amoA gene copies in water.
