Taxonomy
Names	Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196
Accession numbers	NC_007614, NC_007615, NC_007616, NC_007617
Background	The betaproteobacterium Nitrosospira is an ammonia-oxidizing bacterium. This chemolithoautotrophic bacterium oxidizes ammonia to nitrite as an energy source and assimilates CO2 as the major carbon source. They are of ecological importance in that they contribute to the biological oxidation of inorganic nitrogen compounds. Nitrosospira multiformis (strain ATCC 25196 / NCIMB 11849) consists of one chromosome and three plasmids. (EBI Integr8)
