The Character and Application of Anammox Bateria in Wastewater Biotreatment / 微生物学通报

ABSTRACT

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation is a new process in which ammonium is oxidized with nitrite as the electron acceptor under anoxic conditions,producing dinitrogen gas.Three anammox bacteria(Brocadia anammoxidans,Kuenenia stuttgartiensis,Scalindua sorokinii) have been found recently.The investigation on cytochrome spectra,nutrition,inhibitors,cell structures and biochemistry reaction mechanisms in anammox bacteria indicated that anammox bacteria had the potential of diverse metabolic types.Several novel microbial nitrogen removal processes have been developed(ANAMMOX process、SHARON-ANAMMOX process、CANON process and integration of methanogenesis with anaerobic ammonium oxidation).
