Abstract

ANaerobic AMMonium OXidation (ANAMMOX) combined with partial nitritation has been adopted for removal of ammonium from wastewater. Here, Speth et al. describe the bacterial metagenome of a partial-nitritation/anammox (PNA) reactor, and provide 23 draft genomes, 19 of which were previously uncharacterized/sequenced/cultivated.
