  2. Nitrifying bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrifying_bacteria

    Nitrifying bacteria are chemolithotrophic organisms that include species of genera such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrobacter, Nitrospina, Nitrospira and Nitrococcus. These bacteria get their energy from the oxidation of inorganic nitrogen compounds. [1] Types include ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB).

  3. Nitrobacter winogradskyi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrobacter_winogradskyi

    Nitrobacter winogradskyi is a gram-negative nitrite-oxidizing bacteria from the genus of Nitrobacter. [2] [3] It is a chemolithoautotroph that derives energy by oxidation of nitrite. Nitrobacter winogradskyi is rod-shaped and is involved in the biological nitrification process that occurs within the nitrogen cycle.

  4. Nitrobacter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrobacter

    The conversion of nitrite to nitrate is facilitated by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria. The genus Nitrobacter is widely distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. [ 2 ] Nitrifying bacteria have an optimum growth between 77 and 86 °F (25 and 30 °C), and cannot survive past the upper limit of 120 °F (49 °C) or the lower limit of 32 ...

  5. Nitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrification

    The second step of nitrification is the oxidation of nitrite into nitrate. This process is sometimes known as nitratation. Nitrite oxidation is conducted by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) from the taxa Nitrospirota, [16] Nitrospinota, [17] Pseudomonadota [18] and Chloroflexota. [19]

  6. Aerobic denitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerobic_denitrification

    Aerobic denitrification, or co-respiration, the simultaneous use of both oxygen (O 2) and nitrate (NO − 3) as oxidizing agents, performed by various genera of microorganisms. [1] This process differs from anaerobic denitrification not only in its insensitivity to the presence of oxygen, but also in its higher potential to form nitrous oxide ...

  8. Nitrospira - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrospira

    Nitrospira (from Latin: nitro, meaning "nitrate" and Greek: spira, meaning "spiral") translate into “a nitrate spiral” is a genus of bacteria within the monophyletic clade [1] of the Nitrospirota phylum. The first member of this genus was described 1986 by Watson et al., isolated from the Gulf of Maine.

  9. Nitrosomonas europaea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrosomonas_europaea

    Nitrosomonas europaea is a Gram-negative obligate chemolithoautotroph that can derive all its energy and reductant for growth from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and lives in several places such as soil, sewage, freshwater, the walls of buildings and on the surface of monuments especially in polluted areas where the air contains high levels of nitrogen compounds.
