1. Nitrogen Cycling: Some Betaproteobacteria are involved in nitrogen cycling processes. Certain bacteria in this class, such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira, are known for their role in nitrification, the conversion of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate in soil. This process is crucial for the nitrogen cycle and nutrient availability in ecosystems.

2. Water and Soil Quality: Betaproteobacteria can be found in diverse environments, including aquatic systems and soil. Some species in this class are indicators of water and soil quality, and changes in their abundance or composition may reflect environmental conditions.

3. Pathogenic Species: While many Betaproteobacteria have beneficial roles, some can be opportunistic pathogens. For example, Burkholderia species, including Burkholderia cepacia, can cause infections, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems or underlying health conditions.

4. Bioremediation: Certain Betaproteobacteria have been studied for their bioremediation capabilities. They can degrade or transform various environmental pollutants, contributing to the cleanup of contaminated sites.

5. Plant Associations: Some Betaproteobacteria form associations with plants. For example, certain nitrogen-fixing bacteria in this class can form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, aiding in nitrogen fixation and promoting plant growth.

6. Fermentation: Some Betaproteobacteria are involved in fermentation processes, contributing to the breakdown of organic matter and the production of various metabolites.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
