Abstract:
      In this study, chlorate and ampicillin were used as inhibitors to nitrite-oxidizing bacteria(NOB) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria(AOB), respectively. And combined with the quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) to test two different properties of typical marsh wetland topsoil in Northeast China, Sanjiang plain and Zhalong plain. The correlation of activity and abundance of AOA and AOB in growing season and non-growing season was analyzed. The results showed that the pH value could significantly affect the activity of AOA(P<0.01) in different types of wetland soils; The abundance value of AOA and PAO(AOA+AOB) had significantly positive correlation(r=0.96, P<0.05), in turn, with its PAO(AOA) had no correlation(P>0.5). The PAO(AOA+AOB) and PAO(AOA), the abundance of AOA and AOB of Sanjiang wetland had no significant difference between Calamagrostis angustifolia and Carex lasiocarpa, indicting the difference of plants would not affect the PAO and the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing microbial. However, after inhibited the activity of AOB, the PAO value emerged significantly decreased(P<0.05), which concluded AOB could play an important role in the ammonia oxidation process of Carex lasiocarpa.
