Lüke, Claudia (author), Speth, Daan R. (author), Kox, Martine A R (author), Villanueva, Laura (author), Jetten, M.S.M. (author)Oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) are areas in the global ocean where oxygen concentrations drop to below one percent. Low oxygen concentrations allow alternative respiration with nitrate and nitrite as electron acceptor to become prevalent in these areas, making them main contributors to oceanic nitrogen loss. The contribution of anammox and...journal article 2016

Villanueva, L. (author), Speth, D.R. (author), Van Alen, T. (author), Hoischen, A. (author), Jetten, M.S. (author)Anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are responsible for a significant portion of the loss of fixed nitrogen from the oceans, making them important players in the global nitrogen cycle. To date, marine anammox bacteria found in both water columns and sediments worldwide belong almost exclusively to "Candidatus Scalindua" species....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
