I am quantifying amoA genes (bacteria) in soils samples. I heard that these genes have more than one copy in single genome. So I would like to ask that is there any relevant literature available which showed accurate numbers for this gene........
Hello Shamina.
Although a bit outdated, this article will be useful:
Klotz, Martin G., and Jeanette M. Norton. "Multiple copies of ammonia monooxygenase (amo) operons have evolved under biased AT/GC mutational pressure in ammonia-oxidizing autotrophic bacteria." FEMS microbiology letters 168.2 (1998): 303-311.
You can check subsequent articles that cited this one in google scholar for example. I hope that helps. Best regards.
Three nearly identical copies of amoA gene in Nitrospira sp.
Two nearly identical copies of amoA gene in Nitrosomonas europaea.

Alternatively, search Ensembl Bacteria for "ammonia monooxygenase" gene(s) in the genomes of individual bacterial species.
