Abstract
In order to investigate the effects of temperature on the abundances and community compositions of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), lake microcosms were constructed and incubated at 15°C, 25°C and 35°C for 40 days, respectively. Temperature exhibited different effects on the abundance and diversity of archaeal and bacterial amoA gene. The elevated temperature increased the abundance of archaeal amoA gene, whereas the abundance of bacterial amoA gene decreased. The highest diversity of bacterial amoA gene was found in the 25°C treatment sample. However, the 25°C treatment sample maintained the lowest diversity of archaeal amoA gene. Most of the archaeal amoA sequences obtained in this study affiliated with the Nitrosopumilus cluster. Two sequences obtained from the 15°C treatment samples were affiliated with the Nitrosotalea cluster. N. oligotropha lineage was the most dominant bacterial amoA gene group. Several sequences affiliated to Nitrosospira and undefined N. europaea/NC. mobilis like lineage were found in the pre-incubation and 25°C treatment groups.Entities:

Figure 1Abundances of archaeal and bacterial amoA genes in the surface sediment samples treated with different temperatures.
Data are shown as Means±SD (n = 3). Different uppercase (archaeal amoA gene) and lowercase letters (bacterial amoA gene) refer to significant differences between different temperature treatments (P<0.05).

OTUs were defined as 5% difference in nucleic acid sequences. Shannon-Weiner (H)and SChao1-estimated richness was calculated using DOTUR.
Figure 2Phylogenetic trees of the archaeal (A) and bacterial (B) amoA gene sequences.
Sequences obtained in this study were written in bold and colors, which represent different clone libraries (Red: 0 d; pink: 15°C treatment; blue: 25°C treatment; green: 35°C treatment). One representative sequence from each OTU is shown in the phylogenetic trees. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of sequences affiliated to the same OTU. Bootstrap numbers >50% are shown.
