Betaproteobacteria play an important role in denitrification, removal of phosphorus, and xenobiotic degradation from waste. [7] Various human activities, such as fertilizer production and chemical plant usage, release significant amounts of ammonium ions into rivers and oceans. [ 8 ]

Classes Betaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria are prevalent within the human oral cavity, and are markers for good oral health. [46] The oral microbiome consists of 11 habitats, including the tongue dorsum, hard palate , tonsils, throat, saliva, and more. [ 52 ]
Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis (CAP) is an unclassified type of Betaproteobacteria that is a common bacterial community member of sewage treatment and wastewater treatment plants performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) [1] and is a polyphosphate-accumulating organism.
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.
Thiobacillus is a genus of Gram-negative Betaproteobacteria. Thiobacillus thioparus is the type species of the genus, and the type strain thereof is the Starkey T strain, isolated by Robert Starkey in the 1930s from a field at Rutgers University in the United States of America.
Parasutterella has been divided into three different groups on the basis of their 16S rRNA sequences: P. excrementihominis, P. secunda, and uncultured bacterium. [2] [4] In the Silva 16S rRNA reference library, each group can then be further divided into various accession numbers or operational taxonomical units (OTUs) due to slight differences in sequence. [4]
Mariprofundus ferrooxydans PV-1 twisted stalks TEM image. One example of Fe oxide morphotypes produced by the Zetaproteobacteria. Image by Clara Chan. The Zetaproteobacteria were first discovered in 1991 by Craig Moyer, Fred Dobbs and David Karl as a single rare clone in a mesophilic, or moderate temperature, hydrothermal vent field known as Pele's Vents at Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount (formerly ...
