A novel marine nitrite-oxidizing Nitrospira species from Dutch coastal North Sea water

A novel marine nitrite-oxidizing Nitrospira species from Dutch coastal North Sea water

Marine microorganisms are important for the global nitrogen cycle, but marine nitrifiers, especially aerobic nitrite-oxidizers, remain largely unexplored. To increase the number of cultured representatives of marine nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), a bioreactor cultivation approach was adopted to f...
