Description

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria can use nitrite and ammonia are the last major addition to the nitrogen-cycle (N-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.
