Betaproteobacteria are economically important, with roles in maintaining soil pH and in elementary cycling. Some economically important members of the Betaproteobacteria use nitrate as their terminal electron acceptor and can be used industrially to remove nitrate from wastewater by denitrification.

The Burkholderiales are an order of Betaproteobacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. [3] Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative.They include several pathogenic bacteria, including species of Burkholderia, Bordetella, and Ralstonia. [3]
The Nitrosomonadales [1] are an order of the class Betaproteobacteria in the phylum Pseudomonadota. [3] Like all members of their class, they are Gram-negative. The order is divided into six families: Nitrosomonadaceae (type family) comprises the genera Nitrosomonas (type genus), Nitrosolobus and Nitrosospira. [1]
Ralstonia pickettii is a Betaproteobacteria species found in moist environments such as soils, rivers, and lakes. It has also been identified in biofilms in plastic water pipes. It is an oligotrophic organism, making it capable of surviving in areas with a very low concentration of nutrients.
Burkholderia is a genus of Pseudomonadota whose pathogenic members include the Burkholderia cepacia complex, which attacks humans and Burkholderia mallei, responsible for glanders, a disease that occurs mostly in horses and related animals; Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of melioidosis; and Burkholderia cepacia, an important pathogen of pulmonary infections in people with cystic ...
Thauera is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the family Zoogloeaceae of the order Rhodocyclales of the Betaproteobacteria. The genus is named for the German microbiologist Rudolf Thauer. Most species of this genus are motile by flagella and are mostly rod-shaped. [2] The species occur in wet soil and polluted freshwater. [2]
The Burkholderiaceae are a family of bacteria included in the order Burkholderiales. [5] It includes some pathogenic species, such as Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei (melioidosis). [5]
