Nitrospirota

Not to be confused with Nitrospinota.

Nitrospirota is a phylum of bacteria. It includes multiple genera, such as Nitrospira, the largest. The first member of this phylum, Nitrospira marina, was discovered in 1985.^[2] The second member, Nitrospira moscoviensis, was discovered in 1995.^[3][4]
