Nitrosopumilus cobalaminigenes is a thaumarchaeal ammonia-oxidizing archaeon closely related to the well-studied N. maritimus. It is notable for producing cobalamin (vitamin B12) during ammonia oxidation in marine environments.

Nitrosopumilus salaria is a moderately halophilic, ammonia-oxidizing archaeon in the family Nitrosopumilaceae, isolated from saline environments. It expands the known salinity range of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in the Thaumarchaeota.
