Ecophysiology of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria
Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a microbial process where NH4+ is anaerobically oxidized to N2 gas via hydrazine (N2H4) with NO2- as an electron acceptor. This microbial process is mediated by anammox bacteria affiliated with a monophyletic group in the phylum Planctomycetes. The anammox bacteria...
