Nitrospira moscoviensis

Nitrospira moscoviesis is a gram-negative, non-motile, facultative lithoauthotropic bacterium.[2] The most closely related species to N. moscoviensis is Nitrospira marina.[2] N. moscoviensis was discovered in Moscow, Russia in 1995, and could potentially be used in the production of bio-degradable polymers.[2]
