The coexistence of uncultured heterotrophic bacteria belonging to the phylum Chloroflexi has often been observed in anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) reactors fed with synthetic nutrient medium without organic carbon compounds. To determine if coexisting Chloroflexi in anammox reactors scavenge organic matter derived from anammox bacterial cells, the present study was conducted to investigate the substrate uptake pattern of the uncultured Chloroflexi present in an anammox reactor and to…

Characterization of a Microbial Community in an Anammox Process Using Stored Anammox Sludge

Investigation of a rapid start-up anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) process by inoculation with stored Anammox sludge and characterized the associated microbial communities demonstrated that denitrifying bacteria play a role in nitrogen removal during the Anamm ox process.

The Phylogeny, Biodiversity, and Ecology of the Chloroflexi in Activated Sludge

A wider look is taken at what the authors now know about Chloroflexi, especially their global distribution in activated sludge plants, and what their functional roles there might be, and why such information might provide clues as to how their population levels may be manipulated.

Revealing Function of Amino Acids in Nitrifying and Anammox Systems Through Chromatography and Metagenomic Analyses

The metagenomic-based analysis showed that heterotrophs might grow by assimilating amino acids or peptides in EPS and SMP by possessing amino acids degradation genes, whereas those in the SBBR without the addition of organics had both amino acids synthesizing and degrading genes.
