生理上确定的一组自养氨氧化细菌包括能够利用氨作为主要能源和二氧化碳作为主要碳来源的生物体。与亚硝酸盐氧化细菌一起，氨氧化菌以前被归类为硝化菌科的硝化细菌(Buchanan，1917b；Starkey，1948,1957；Watson，1971,1974；Watson等，1981,1989)。然而，系统发育研究表明，这两组生理上定义的细菌并不代表一个系统发育可定义的单位(Woese等人，1984a，1984b，1985；Teske等人，1994)。
The physiologically defined group of lithoautotrophic, ammoniaoxidizing bacteria comprises organisms having the ability to utilize ammonia as the major source of energy and carbon dioxide as the main source of carbon. Together with the lithotrophic, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, the ammonia oxidizers were formerly classified as nitrifying bacteria in the family Nitrobacteraceae (Buchanan, 1917b; Starkey, 1948, 1957; Watson, 1971, 1974; Watson et al., 1981, 1989). Phylogenetic investigations, however, have revealed that these two physiologically defined groups of bacteria do not represent a phylogenetically definable unit (Woese et al., 1984a, 1984b, 1985; Teske et al., 1994).
