I'm going to do an experiment in lab in which I examine the effect of nitrapyrin ( it is a nitrification inhibitor ) on more ammonia-oxidizers bacteria. There are several experiments proved that nitrapyrin inhibits Nitrosomonas nitrification bacteria which are responsible for convert the ammonium to nitrite. Howewer, according to the heterogenity of soils, I guess there is a huge heterogenity of population bacteria. If there are other similar function bacteria in soil which are also responsible this mechanism (converting ammonia to nitrite), the impact of nitrapyrin will be not effective. If Nitrosomonas are inhibited, other bacteria may can multiply.
For example anaerobic ammonia oxidation by Planctomyces.

Dear Vit,
Thank you for your answer, but I actually I need aerobic ammonia oxidizers bacteria species which are found mostly in soils. What you mentioned is an aquatic bacteria.
Best wishes,
Dalma

Other than traditional chemolithoautotrophs there are Ammonia oxidizing Archaea (AOA), if the condition is anaerobic possibility of anaerobic ammonia oxidizers (ANAMMOX) and also the Nitrospira like complete ammonia oxidizers (COMAMMOX).
Other than the bacteria that mentioned, there are also Ammonia oxidizing prokaryotes like Archaea and bacterial ammonia oxidizers that can be found on soils that inhibits nitrification.
