Chapter 28.1, Problem 2.4CC
Summary Introduction
Anammox reaction, also termed as anoxic ammonium oxidation, is an anaerobic process carried out by chemolithotrophs (Phylum Planctomycetes). In anammox reaction, ammonium is oxidized to dinitrogen gas by using nitrite as the electron acceptor, under anaerobic conditions. Anammox bacteria are majorly distributed in various natural systems like fresh water sediments and water column, anoxic marine sediments and water column and
