Soon you will find here information on the sequencing of the complete genomes of

Nitrosococcus halophilus Nc4.

Candidatus Nitrosococcus watsoni C-113,
both non-phototrophic sulfur purple bacteria in the order Chromatiales (Gamma-Proteobacteria)

and

the Beta-Proteobacterium Nitrosomonas marina C-113a
from the order Nitrosomonadales.

Both organisms are Gram-negative, obligate aerobic and marine bacteria that can derive all their energy and reductant for growth from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite (= they are chemolithotrophic),
