Article Synopsis
- Anammox bacteria can metabolize short-chain fatty acids, but their role in carbon utilization during mixotrophic processes is not fully understood.
- This study used advanced techniques like genome-resolved metagenomics and DNA stable isotope probing to analyze an Anammox process with acetate.
- Researchers identified essential genes related to acetate metabolism and noted that "Candidatus Jettenia caeni" played a significant role in carbon utilization, emphasizing its importance in treating wastewater with low organic matter and ammonia.
Production of wood-based activated carbon (WAC) generates large volume of highly acidic and phosphate-rich wastewater. Currently, the routine treatment (i.e.

- Obligate aerobic methanotrophs can oxidize methane and participate in denitrification under low oxygen conditions, but the specifics of this process in aerobic methane oxidation (AME-D) remain underexplored.
- A methanotrophic consortium was cultivated in a specialized bioreactor, achieving a significant nitrite removal rate of about 50 mg N/L/d.
- Metagenomics techniques identified Methylomonas as the key player in methane oxidation and partial denitrification, revealing important genes related to nitrogen reduction processes and suggesting a possible connection between methanotrophy and denitrification.
