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 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.
