Nitrosopumilus adriaticus is a chemolithoautotrophic archaeon in the family Nitrosopumilaceae, first isolated from the Adriatic Sea. Like other members of this genus, it oxidises ammonia to nitrite as its primary energy source and plays a significant role in marine nitrogen cycling. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Nitrosopumilus ureiphilus is an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon in the family Nitrosopumilaceae, notable for its ability to use urea as an alternative nitrogen source. It belongs to the globally distributed marine Thaumarchaeota that drive nitrification in ocean waters.
