Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a microbial process in which NH4+ is
oxidized to N2 gas with NO2− as an electron acceptor. The anammox process is mediated …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria, which were discovered in waste-water
sludge in the early 1990s, have the unique metabolic ability to combine ammonium and …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Denitrification, the reduction of the nitrogen (N) oxides, nitrate (NO3−) and nitrite (NO2−), to
the gases nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), and dinitrogen (N2), is important to primary …

Nitrate is a key node in the network of the assimilatory and respiratory nitrogen pathways. As
one of the 'fixed'forms of nitrogen, nitrate plays an essential role in both nature and industry …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are one of the latest additions to the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These bacteria derive their energy for growth from the …

Using soil slurry-based 15N tracer combined with N2/Ar technique, the potential rates of
denitrification, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox), and dissimilatory nitrate …

Anammox, anaerobic ammonium oxidation with nitrite, is now recognized as an important
process in the marine nitrogen cycle. The bacteria conducting anammox are highly …

Anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bacteria oxidize ammonium with nitrite and
produce N2. They reside in many natural ecosystems and contribute significantly to the …

For decades, the conversion of organic nitrogen to dinitrogen gas by heterotrophic bacteria,
termed heterotrophic denitrification, was assumed to be the main pathway of nitrogen loss in …
