Abstract:Anaerobic ammonium-oxidation (anammox) reaction is a crucial microbial nitrogen (N) transformation process contributing to the global N cycling. The currently known anammox bacteria are affiliated with two families, the marine Ca. Scalinduaceae and the freshwater Ca. Brocadiaceae, in the Planctomycetes. Here we report a discovery of new groups of anammox bacteria consisting of two new orders, two new families, and six new genera within the class Candidatus Brocadiia, all from geochemically distinct aquifer sys… Show more
