KBOzzie59 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 API Quick Start. Ingredients: nitrosomonas eutropha (Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria) / nitrobacter winogradski (Nitrite-Oxidizing Bacteria) / Water Pretty straight forward. Then I started looking through some of the water treatment papers I've collected over the years which led me to start poking around on the interwebs. Did you know... Nitrosomonas eutropha Starting in 2014, it was being tested by the biotech company AOBiome for its possible health benefits on skin.[6] AOBiome started a Phase II trial of an intranasal formulation of the bacteria for migraines.[7][8] (Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrosomonas_eutropha And then this: "In 2015, the surprising identification of microorganisms preforming complete nitrification on their own challenged the strict division of labor between the two nitrifying guilds, and thus caused another paradigm shift in our understanding of nitrification" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6311188/ Comammox Nitrospira 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJV Aquatics Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 And still, many hobbyists continue to insist that nitrobacter oxidizes nitrite into nitrate rather than nitrospira. But then there are so many myths in the hobby that continue to be parroted about by well meaning hobbyists echoing what they have heard or read on the web.
