The Nitrobacteraceae are a family of gram-negative, aerobic bacteria. They include plant-associated bacteria such as Bradyrhizobium , a genus of rhizobia associated with some legumes . It also contains animal-associated bacteria such as Afipia felis , formerly thought to cause cat-scratch disease .
Nitrobacter is a genus comprising rod-shaped, gram-negative, and chemoautotrophic bacteria. [1] The name Nitrobacter derives from the Latin neuter gender noun nitrum, nitri, alkalis; the Ancient Greek noun βακτηρία, βακτηρίᾱς, rod.
The four families Nitrobacteraceae, Hyphomicrobiaceae, Phyllobacteriaceae, and Rhizobiaceae contain at least several genera of nitrogen-fixing, legume-nodulating, microsymbiotic bacteria. Examples are the genera Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium.
