Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76

Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76 is a member of the archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota, specifically known for its role in ammonia oxidation within the nitrogen cycle. This organism is characterized as gram-uncharacterized, which suggests that its cell wall structure has not been clearly defined in the existing literature. The genomic data of Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76 is represented by a single replicon, indicating that its genetic material is organized on one chromosome, which is essential for its metabolic functions. The genome is cataloged under the accession number NZ_CP007536.1, providing a reference for researchers seeking to study its genetic makeup and potential applications. Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76 is significant in ecological contexts, particularly in soil and marine environments where it contributes to the biogeochemical processes of nitrogen transformation. Through the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, it plays a vital role in nitrification, impacting nutrient cycles and ecosystem health. Understanding the traits of Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76 enhances our knowledge of microbial contributions to nitrogen cycling and highlights the importance of archaeal species in maintaining ecological balance.
