A novel acidophilic nitrite oxidizing bacterium partnered with ammonia-oxidizing archaea
A novel acidophilic nitrite oxidizing bacterium Nitrobacter partnered with ammonia-oxidizing archaea Ca. Nitrosotalea was enriched in a laboratory reactor operated at pH 4.5. This new NOB Candidatus Nitrobacter acidophilus optimally grows at pH 5, distinguishing it from most previously known NOB strains.
