Species code:	NITHX
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Bradyrhizobiaceae; Nitrobacter (TaxID: 323097) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Nitrobacter hamburgensis (strain X14 / DSM 10229) is a rod-shaped, motile, aerobe alpha-proteobacterium. N. hamburgensis is a facultatively lithoautotrophic bacterium that gains energy from the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate (nitrification). It is ubiquitous in nature and has been isolated from several environments, including soil, building sandstone, and sewage sludge. In addition to growing lithoautotrophically, Nitrobacter hamburgensis is able to grow mixotrophically with NO2 and organic components or heterotrophically solely with organic components. It can be used in biotechnology for efficient transformation of fertilizer nitrogen in agricultural systems, and is a key component of nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment.
