    1. The Role of Ammonia Monooxygenase in Nitrosomonas europaea Lindsey Wargo 1 March 2007 Advanced Biophysical Chemistry

    2. Nitrosomonas europaea Obligate chemolithotroph Oxidation of NH3 to nitrite (NO2-) supplies all of the reductant necessary for energy and biosynthesis Obligate autotroph CO2 provides all of the carbon necessary for growth (growth with fructose or pyruvate C sources recently observed) ߖsubdivision of proteobacteria

    3. Typical Pathway for Ammonia Oxidation in Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB) Bold arrows and N compounds indicate major reactions and their substrates and products HAO (hydroxylamine oxidoreductase); NIR (nitrite reductase); NOR (nitric oxide reductase)
