Classification
Domain: Bacteria
Phylum: Planctomycetes
Class: Planctomycetacia
Order: Planctomycetales Family: Brocadiaceae
Genus: Scalindua
Species: Candidatus Scalindua
Description
Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria use ammonium and nitrite and produce dinitrogen gas under anoxic Conditions.(1) This anammox reation is also a new short-cut process in nitrogen cycle. The “Candidatus Scalindua” group is primarily found in marine environments. It contains taxonomically diverse members, while only a few them have been successfully grown in enrichment cultures.(2) The Physiological characteristics of Candidatus Scalindua affiliated to Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria have been demonstrated only partially compared with the other anammox bacteria which can be found in fresh water.(3,4)
