Abstract
ABSTRACT Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) play important roles in nitrogen and carbon cycling in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we present the draft genome sequence for the ammonia-oxidizing archaeon “ Candidatus Nitrosopumilus salaria” BD31, which was enriched in culture from sediments of the San Francisco Bay estuary. The genome sequences revealed many similarities to the genome of Nitrosopumilus maritimus .

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” BG20, a Low-Salinity Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeon from the San Francisco Bay Estuary

Abstract
ABSTRACT Here, we present the draft genome sequence of “ Candidatus Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” BG20, an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon enriched in culture from low-salinity sediments of the San Francisco Bay estuary. The genome sequence revealed many similarities to the previously sequenced genome of “ Ca. Nitrosoarchaeum limnia” SFB1 (enriched from a nearby site in San Francisco Bay) and is representative of a clade of ammonia-oxid
