Abstract
In this study, AOA communities along a river in southern China were characterized, and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of a novel AOA clade were also obtained. Based on the characterization of AOA genomes, the study suggests adaptation of the novel AOAs to estuarine environments, providing new information on the ecology of estuarine AOA and the nitrogen cycle in contaminated estuarine environments.
