Betaproteobacteria
Betaproteobacteria are a class of Gram-negative bacteria, and one of the eight classes of the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). The ''Betaproteobacteria'' are a class comprising over 75 genera and 400 species of bacteria. Together, the ''Betaproteobacteria'' represent a broad variety of metabolic strategies and occupy diverse environments from obligate pathogens living within host organisms to oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems. Whilst most members of the ''Betaproteobacteria'' are heterotrophic, deriving both their carbon and electrons from organocarbon sources, some are photoheterotrophic, deriving energy from light and carbon from organocarbon sources. Other genera are autotrophic, deriving their carbon from bicarbonate or carbon dioxide and their electrons from reduced inorganic ions such as nitrite, ammonium, thiosulfate or sulfide — many of these chemolithoautotrophic. ''Betaproteobacteria'' are economically important, with roles in maintaining soil p ...

Annwoodia
The genus ''Annwoodia'' was named in 2017 to circumscribe an organism previously described as a member of the genus ''Thiobacillus'', ''Thiobacillus aquaesulis'' - the type and only species is ''Annwoodia aquaesulis'', which was isolated from the geothermal waters of the Roman Baths in the city of Bath in the United Kingdom by Ann P. Wood and Donovan P. Kelly of the University of Warwick - the genus was subsequently named to honour Wood's contribution to microbiology. The genus falls within the family '' Thiobacillaceae'' along with ''Thiobacillus'' and '' Sulfuritortus'', both of which comprise autotrophic organisms dependent on thiosulfate, other sulfur oxyanions and sulfide as electron donors for chemolithoheterotrophic growth. Whilst ''Annwoodia'' spp. and '' Sulfuritortus'' spp. are thermophilic, ''Thiobacillus'' spp. are mesophilic. ''A. aquaesulis'' is moderately thermophilic with an optimum temperature of 43 °C and a temperature range of 30 °C to 55 °C ...

Thiobacillus
''Thiobacillus'' is a genus of Gram-negative Betaproteobacteria. '' Thiobacillus thioparus'' is the type species of the genus, and the type strain thereof is the StarkeyT strain, isolated by Robert Starkey in the 1930s from a field at Rutgers University in the United States of America. While over 30 "species" have been named in this genus since it was defined by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904, (the first strain was observed by the biological oceanographer Alexander Nathansohn in 1902 - likely what we would now call ''Halothiobacillus neapolitanus''), most names were never validly or effectively published. The remainder were either reclassified into ''Paracoccus'', '' Starkeya'' (both in the Alphaproteobacteria); '' Sulfuriferula'', ''Annwoodia'', ''Thiomonas'' (in the Betaproteobacteria); ''Halothiobacillus'', ''Guyparkeria'' (in the Gammaproteobacteria), or ''Thermithiobacillus'' or ''Acidithiobacillus'' (in the Acidithiobacillia). The very loosely defined "species" '' Thiobacillu ...

Pseudomonadota
Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria) is a major phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The renaming of phyla in 2021 remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier names of long standing in the literature. The phylum Proteobacteria includes a wide variety of pathogenic genera, such as ''Escherichia'', '' Salmonella'', ''Vibrio'', ''Yersinia'', ''Legionella'', and many others.Slonczewski JL, Foster JW, Foster E. Microbiology: An Evolving Science 5th Ed. WW Norton & Company; 2020. Others are free-living (nonparasitic) and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation. Carl Woese established this grouping in 1987, calling it informally the "purple bacteria and their relatives". Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, it was later informally named Proteobacteria, after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea capable of assuming many different shapes (not after the Proteobacteria genus ''Proteus''). In 2021 the Internat ...

Denitratisoma
''Denitratisoma'' is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). Etymology The name ''Denitratisoma'' derives from:Latin pref. ''de''-, away from; New Latin noun ''nitras'' -''atis'', nitrate; Greek neuter gender noun ''soma (σῶμα)'', body; New Latin neuter gender noun ''Denitratisoma'', a body that reduces nitrate. Species The genus contains a single species, namely '' D. oestradiolicum'' ( Fahrbach ''et al''. 2006, (Type species of the genus).; New Latin noun ''oestradiol'', oestradiol; Latin neuter gender suff. -''icum'', belonging to; New Latin neuter gender adjective ''oestradiolicum'', belonging to oestradiol, referring to oestradiol utilization.)

Nitrosomonas
''Nitrosomonas'' is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria, belonging to the Betaproteobacteria. It is one of the five genera of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and, as an obligate chemolithoautotroph, uses ammonia (NH3) as an energy source and carbon dioxide (CO2) as a carbon source in presence of oxygen. ''Nitrosomonas'' are important in the global biogeochemical nitrogen cycle, since they increase the bioavailability of nitrogen to plants and in the denitrification, which is important for the release of nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas. This microbe is photophobic, and usually generate a biofilm matrix, or form clumps with other microbes, to avoid light. ''Nitrosomonas'' can be divided into six lineages: the first one includes the species '' Nitrosomonas europea'', ''Nitrosomonas eutropha'', ''Nitrosomonas halophila'', and ''Nitrosomonas mobilis.'' The second lineage presents the species ''Nitrosomonas communis'', ''N. sp. I'' and ''N. sp. II,'' meanwhile the third lineage include ...
