Nitric oxide-dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation

Nitric oxide-dependent anaerobic ammonium oxidation

Anammox bacteria couple nitrite reduction to ammonium oxidation, with nitric oxide (NO) and hydrazine as intermediates, and produce N2 and nitrate. Here, Hu et al. show that an anammox bacterium can grow in the absence of nitrite by coupling ammonium oxidation to NO reduction, producing only N2.
