Electrode-dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation by anammox bacteria
Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics analysis of electrode-dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation by anammox bacteria (Electro-anammox). This is the first report showing the ability of anammox bacteria to behave as an electrochemically active microorganism and oxidize ammonium using a solid-state electrode as the electron acceptor. In electro-anammox process is achieved complete removal of ammonium under anaerobic conditions using low applied voltage and without accumulation of nitrite and/or nitrate.
