The Microbiology Research Progress of ANAMMOX Bacteria / 微生物学通报

ABSTRACT

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation(ANAMMOX)is a new process of nitrogen conversion that has prospect most currently.The AN- AMMOX process offers great opportunities to remove ammonia from wastewater without the addition of an external carbon source and with con- siderable less aeration costs in comparison with classical methods.ANAMMOX is a biologically mediated process.Three bacteria are identi- fied responsible for the process as new deep-branching planctomyceteBrocadia,Kuenenia and Scalindua.Described it to separate and the method,biochemistry path,the ecosystem physiology characteristic for authenticate and distribute.
