Nitrosomonas
Nitrosomonas is a genus of bacteria that oxidizes ammonia into nitrite, a crucial step in the nitrogen cycle.
These microorganisms are found in soil, sewage, and aquatic environments, where they help convert waste nitrogen into forms usable by plants.
They're essential in wastewater treatment and aquarium filtration systems.
