Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are one of the latest additions to the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. These bacteria derive their energy for growth from the …

Biological methane oxidation proceeds either through aerobic or anaerobic pathways. The
newly discovered bacterium Candidatus ‘Methylomirabilis oxyfera’ challenges this dichotomy…

Bacteria of the phylum Planctomycetes have been previously reported to possess several
features that are typical of eukaryotes, such as cytosolic compartmentalization and endocytosis…

The bacteria that mediate the anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) are detected
worldwide in natural and man-made ecosystems, and contribute up to 50% to the loss of …

The existence of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was hypothesized based on
nutrient profiles and thermodynamic calculations (5, 31, 44). It was first discovered about 1 …

Anammox bacteria belong to the phylum Planctomycetes and perform anaerobic ammonium
oxidation (anammox); they oxidize ammonium with nitrite as the electron acceptor to yield …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has become a main focus in oceanography
and wastewater treatment 1 , 2 . It is also the nitrogen cycle's major remaining biochemical …

Lipid membranes are essential to the functioning of cells, enabling the existence of concentration
gradients of ions and metabolites. Microbial membrane lipids can contain three-, five-, …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are detected in many natural ecosystems
and wastewater treatment plants worldwide. This study describes the enrichment of …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria defy many microbiological concepts
and share numerous properties with both eukaryotes and archaea. Among their most …
