Nitrospirae

Nitrospirae is a phylum of bacteria. It contains only one class, Nitrospira, which itself contains one order (Nitrospirales) and one family (Nitrospiraceae). It includes multiple genera, such as Nitrospira, the largest. The first member of this phylum, Nitrospira marina, was discovered in 1985.[1] The second member, Nitrospira moscoviensis, was discovered in 1995.[2][3]

Notes:
♠ Strain found at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) but not listed in the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)

gollark: Such as, I don't know, venting the mantle to the surface.
gollark: That would ruin the climate first, ecosystem second, and only if you did horrendous amounts of it.
gollark: Given the Death Star, I'd say crazy power source.
gollark: Either they use vector control plus some crazy power source, or just somehow have cheap vector control.
gollark: Just tape a laser pointer to it, they only use a few watts or something.
