“…The pH value hardly changed during the anoxic stirring phase, which is contrary to the certified conclusion that the anammox process consumes hydrogen ions (Zhang et al,
2017). A previous study demonstrated that PN generates hydrogen ions (Saxena et al,
2019). Therefore, we believe that this phenomenon may be due to a specific AOB oxidizing
to
under extremely oxygen‐deficient conditions (anoxic stirring phase, DO < 0.1 mg L −1 ), that is, PN and anammox take place simultaneously.…”
