  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Chromatiaceae Bavendamm 1924 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Campbell MA, Chain PS, Dang H, El Sheikh AF, Norton JM, Ward NL, Ward BB, Klotz MG. Nitrosococcus watsonii sp. nov., a new species of marine obligate ammonia-oxidizing bacteria that is not omnipresent in the world's oceans: calls to validate the names 'Nitrosococcus halophilus' and 'Nitrosomonas mobilis'.
