History of knowledge

edit

The first member of this phylum, Nitrospira marina, was discovered in 1985.[2] The second member, Nitrospira moscoviensis, was discovered in 1995.[3][4] Nitrospira inopinata was discovered in 2015[5][6] and cultivated in 2017.[7]

Metabolism

edit

Nitrospirota contains nitrifying taxa which oxidize nitrite to nitrate (nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, NOB[8]) and commamox bacteria: Nitrospira inopinata.[5][6] Dissulfurispira thermophila (Thermodesulfovibrionia) grows by disproportionation of thiosulfate or elemental sulfur.[9]
