Afipia is a genus of bacteria in the Nitrobacteraceae family. (wikipedia.org)
Whole-genome-based comparisons and phylogenomics reconstruction indicate that strain IBT-C3 represents a new species of the genus Afipia. (uibk.ac.at)
The genome complement of IBT-C3 suggests a functional potential for decolorization of textile dyes, contrasting with previous reports of Afipia genus focused on its pathogenic potential. (uibk.ac.at)

Isolation of Novel Afipia septicemium and Identification of Previously Unknown Bacteria Bradyrhizobium sp. (wikipedia.org)
In times long past, highly evolved eukaryotes, for example biochemists, oc-ca-sio-nal-ly quipped that bacteria were nothing more than a bag of en-zymes. (asmblog.org)
It is also commonly found in the atmosphere above marine areas, where it is used as a carbon source by the airborne bacteria Afipia. (ingredients4u.com)
