Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason how the anammox bacteria participate in the nitrogen cycle.

Concept introduction:

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation, also called as anammox, is an important microbial process of the nitrogen cycle. The anammox process is carried out by the bacterial phylum Planctomycetes. The main application of anammox process involves the removal of nitrogen in the wastewater treatment, which can be used as a substitute to save the energy costs for aeration.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The places where the anammox bacteria live and explain how they contain the toxic intermediates of their specialized metabolism.
