Abstract excerpt
Strains of Nitrobacter mediate the second step in the nitrification process by oxidizing nitrite to nitrate. The phylogenetic diversity of the genus is currently not well investigated. In this study, a rep-PCR profile and the nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence of 30 strains, comprising a wide physiological as well as ecological diversity and encompassing representatives of the four species, were determined....
