Anammox bacteria form a deep-branching, monophyletic group within the Planctomycetes and anaerobically oxidize ammonium to dinitrogen gas with nitrite as an electron acceptor (Kuenen, 2008).They ...

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria, which combine ammonium and nitrite or nitrate to form nitrogen gas, were discovered in the early 1990s. Here, Gijs Kuenen recalls the discovery of ...

Nitrogen-producing process of anammox bacterium finally uncovered. Radboud University Nijmegen. Journal Nature Microbiology DOI 10.1038/s41564-021-00934-8 ...

Anammox bacteria used for wastewater treatment do not need oxygen, but they do currently need nitrite as the electron acceptor. This is provided by another type of bacteria that needs oxygen, ...

All the latest science news on anammox bacteria from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Anammox cell wall surprises again Date: May 12, 2015 Source: Radboud University Summary: Contrary to what you will read in textbooks, the cell wall of anammox bacteria contains the structural ...

Contrary to what you will read in textbooks, the cell wall of anammox bacteria contains the structural molecule peptidoglycan after all. This is the conclusion of a group of microbiologists from ...

Anammox bacteria produce hydrazine similar to the two-step industrial Olin-Raschig process developed in 1906. So could we use the protein to speed up industrial hydrazine production?

Anammox bacterial diversity was limited in these high-elevation rivers, with Brocadia-like species averagely accounting for 97.0% of anammox community composition. Several denitrifier nirS phylotypes ...

Anammox bacteria are very unusual because they contain an organelle which is a typical eukaryotic feature. Inside this organelle, known as the “anammoxosome”, the bacteria perform the anammox reaction ...

Denitrification varied both spatially and seasonally, but anammox only varied spatially. Denitrification ranged from 2.5 to 112 nmol N h−1 mL−1 sediment, and anammox from 0 to 8.7 nmol N h−1 mL−1 ...

Anammox are being grown at the Luggage Point innovation centre, in Brisbane's east, in the hope of using them for mainstream sewage treatment by 2019. So far, ...
