Comparative physiological and genomic characterization of a novel Nitrobacter vulgaris strain from a nitrate-contaminated subsurface [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyNitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) represent a crucial node in the global nitrogen cycle. By catalyzing the second step of nitrification—the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate to generate energy for growth—NOB activity controls the fate of nitrite (NO2-) in ...

Enrichment and identification of a moderately acidophilic nitrite-oxidizing bacterium [PDF]
Water Research XThis study enriched a novel nitrite-oxidizing bacterium (NOB, ‘Candidatus Nitrobacter acidophilus’) in a laboratory reactor operating at pH 4.5 for treating low-strength ammonia wastewater. Batch experiments showed that ‘Ca. N.

Isolation and characterization of pure cultures for metabolizing 1,4-dioxane in oligotrophic environments [PDF]
Water Science and Technology1,4-Dioxane concentration in most contaminated water is much less than 1 mg/L, which cannot sustain the growth of most reported 1,4-dioxane-metabolizing pure cultures.

Lack of Distinction Between Nitrobacter agilis and Nitrobacter winogradskyi [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1971 No adequate criteria were established to distinguish between Nitrobacter agilis and N. winogradskyi . However, very gentle preparative techniques permitted demonstration of flagella in N. agilis .

Comparative studies on membrane proteins of Nitrobacter hamburgensis and Nitrobacter winogradskyi [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1985 The inner membranes (i.e. cytoplasmic and intracytoplasmic membranes, IM) of autotrophically, mixotrophically, and heterotrophically grown cells of Nitrobacter hamburgensis were characterized with respect to their nitrite oxidase activity, density, and protein pattern as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Energy conservation in Nitrobacter [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990 The generation of ATP and NADH in total cells of Nitrobacter was measured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. NADH synthesis was driven by an ATP independent reaction with nitrite or nitric oxide as electron donors. The rate of NADH formation was about 200 times higher, if nitric oxide instead of nitrite served as electron donor.
