Nitratifractor salsuginis Nakagawa et al. 2005 is the type species of the genus Nitratifractor, a member of the family Nautiliaceae. The species is of interest because of its high capacity for nitrate reduction via conversion to N(2) through respiration, which is a key compound in plant nutrition. The strain is also of interest because it represents the first mesophilic and facultatively anaerobic member of the Epsilonproteobacteria reported to grow on molecular hydrogen. This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the genus Nitratifractor and the second sequence from the family Nautiliaceae. The 2,101,285 bp long genome with its 2,121 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
嗜盐硝酸盐还原菌Nakagawa等人于2005年发现,是硝酸盐还原菌属的模式种,属于鹦鹉螺菌科。该物种因其通过呼吸作用将硝酸盐高效还原为N₂的能力而备受关注,N₂是植物营养中的关键化合物。该菌株也很有意思,因为它是ε-变形菌纲中首个被报道能利用分子氢生长的嗜温兼性厌氧菌。这是硝酸盐还原菌属成员的首个完整基因组序列,也是鹦鹉螺菌科的第二个序列。这个长度为2,101,285 bp的基因组,包含2,121个蛋白质编码基因和54个RNA基因,是细菌和古菌基因组百科全书项目的一部分。
