Genus Nitronatura [Ni.tro.na.tu'ra] N.L. pref. nitro-, pertaining to nitrate; L. fem. n. natura, nature; N.L. fem. n. Nitronatura, nitrogen and nature, symbolizing a lineage associated with nitrogen cycling in natural ecosystems
Genus formerly known as Palsa-1315 under GTDB R226. The description of the genus is the same as for its nomenclatural type Nitronatura plena.
Nitrospiraceae Nitronatura plenaTs seqco.de/i:54883
Genus Nitrososappho [Ni.tro.so.sap'pho] N.L. pref. nitroso-, full of natron, nitrous; N.L. fem. n. Sappho, latinized form of the Greek poet’s name Σαπφώ; N.L. fem. n. Nitrososappho, a nitrous-oxide producing organism honoring the poet Sappho (Σαπφώ), used as a metaphor for resilience and persistence, in this case, of an archaeal ammonia oxidizer found in environmentally disturbed or constrained habitats
Genus formerly known as TA-21 under GTDB R226. The description of the genus is the same as for its nomenclatural type Nitrososappho danica.
Nitrososphaeraceae Nitrososappho danicaTs seqco.de/i:54885
Species Nitronatura plenaTs [ple'na] L. fem. adj. plena, full or complete, referring to the capacity for complete ammonia oxidation by clade B comammox
Species established on the basis of ANI comparisons to GTDB R226. The type genome was recovered from sphagnum acid bog soil. Based on metabolic reconstruction, Nitronatura plena is aerobic, capable of ammonia and nitrite oxidation. The type genome contains comammox metabolism genes, including amoA, amoB, amoC, nxrAB, and hao.

Species Nitrososappho danicaTs [da.ni'ca] N.L. fem. adj. danica, Danish, referring to the origin of the sample and wide distribution in Denmark
Species established on the basis of ANI comparisons to GTDB R226. The type genome was recovered from urban sediment of a rainwater basin. Based on metabolic reconstruction, Nitrososappho danica is aerobic, capable of ammonia oxidation, and encodes genes for urea use.
