Leptospirillum Ferrooxidans
Nitrospirota is a phylum of bacteria. It includes multiple genera, such as ''Nitrospira'', the largest. The first member of this phylum, ''Nitrospira marina'', was discovered in 1985. The second member, ''Nitrospira moscoviensis'', was discovered in 1995. Nitrospirota contains Nitrifying bacteria, nitrifying taxa which oxidize nitrite to nitrate (nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, NOB) and Comammox, commamox bacteria ''Nitrospira inopinata'' discovered in 2015 and cultivated in 2017.

Leptospirillum Ferriphilum
''Leptospirillum ferriphilum'' is an iron-oxidising bacterium. It is one of the species responsible for the generation of acid mine drainage Acid mine drainage, acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD), or acid rock drainage (ARD) is the outflow of acidic water from metal mines or coal mines. Acid rock drainage occurs naturally within some environments as part of the rock weathering .... It is of particular relevance in South African commercial biooxidation tanks operating at 40 °C.

Nitrospira Defluvii
''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 of the Nitrospirota phylum. The first member of this genus was described 1986 by Watson et al. isolated from the Gulf of Maine. The bacterium was named '' Nitrospira marina''. Populations were initially thought to be limited to marine ecosystems, but it was later discovered to be well-suited for numerous habitats, including activated sludge of wastewater treatment systems, natural biological marine settings (such as the Seine River in France and beaches in Cape Cod), water circulation biofilters in aquarium tanks, terrestrial systems, fresh and salt water ecosystems, and hot springs. Nitrospira is a ubiquitous bacterium that plays a role in the nitrogen cycle by performing nitrite oxidation in the second step of nitrification. ''Nitrospira'' live in a wide array of environments including but not limite ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
