Two groups of lithotrophic bacteria, the existence of which may be expected on evolutionary and thermodynamical grounds, have not yet been detected: (A) photosynthetic, anaerobic, ammonia bacteria, analogous to coloured sulphur bacteria, and (B) chemosynthetic bacteria that oxidize ammonia to nitrogen with O2 or nitrate as oxidant.
(A) 光合厌氧氨细菌，类似于有色硫细菌；(B) 以氧气或硝酸盐作为氧化剂将氨氧化为氮的化学合成细菌。
