Hi everyone, we are five students of University Federico II in Naples. We are working for our course assignement https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/campaigns/microbiology_teaching_in_italy/programs , and we would like to improve this article adding information about Ecology, Morphology, Metabolism and Genetics. --BabboNatale0096 (talk) 15:08, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ammonia, not ammonium

[edit]

Even though it's a short stub, it's still wrong. Nitrosomonas convert AMMONIA (NH3), not AMMONIUM (NH4+). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.125.34.176 (talk) 22:24, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Benzene is not a halogenated compound.

[edit]

The sixth paragraph make a claim about degrading halogenated compounds and then gives three examples, one of which is benzene. Benzene only has carbon and hydrogen, neither of which is a halogen, thus benzene is not a halogenated compound.

Yes, benzene is not halogenated. That sentence is taken directly from the cited reference. So the error originated elsewhere. I wonder if it was meant to be chlorobenzene rather than benzene. ChemNerd (talk) 18:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

[edit]

Sources on this page are very weak. The first source, microbewiki, cites Wikipedia as a source. Pretty sure you can't have two things referencing each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.153.19 (talk) 00:16, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
