Lackner, S. (author), Gilbert, E.M. (author), Vlaeminck, S.E. (author), Joss, A. (author), Horn, H. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M.C.M. (author)Partial nitritation/anammox (PN/A) has been one of the most innovative developments in biological wastewater treatment in recent years. With its discovery in the 1990s a completely new way of ammonium removal from wastewater became available. Over the past decade many technologies have been developed and studied for their applicability to the PN...journal article 2014

Kartal, B. (author), De Almeida, N.M. (author), Maalcke, W.J. (author), Op den Camp, H.J.M. (author), Jetten, M.S.M. (author), Keltjens, J.T. (author)Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria primarily grow by the oxidation of ammonium coupled to nitrite reduction, using CO2 as the sole carbon source. Although they were neglected for a long time, anammox bacteria are encountered in an enormous species (micro)diversity in virtually any anoxic environment that contains fixed nitrogen. It...journal article 2013

Risgaard-Petersen, N. (author), Meyer, R.L. (author), Schmid, M. (author), Jetten, M.S.M. (author), Enrich-Prast, A. (author), Rysgaard, S. (author), Revsbech, N.P. (author)The occurrence and significance of the anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) process relative to denitrification was studied in photosynthetically active sediment from 2 shallow-water estuaries: Randers Fjord and Norsminde Fjord, Denmark. Anammox accounted for 5 to 24% of N2 production in Randers Fjord sediment, whereas no indication was seen...journal article 2004
