More energy-efficient wastewater treatment may be possible by harnessing anammox bacteria's surprising ability to 'breathe' solid-state matter.

Anammox bacteria generate energy from wastewater while taking a breath A type of anaerobic bacteria responsible for more than 50 percent of nitrogen loss from marine environments has been shown to ...

Anammox bacteria can be persuaded to generate electricity from wastewater if they are grown on electrodes in the absence of nitrite.

Wastewater and rocket fuel The knowledge of the inner working of NXR will help in the deployment of the anammox bacterium in interesting applications.

Anammox in industry or wastewater treatment? Anammox bacteria produce hydrazine similar to the two-step industrial Olin-Raschig process developed in 1906.

They're the poo-loving superbugs that are greening Queensland's sewage systems with their big appetite. Now a Brisbane wastewater plant has farmed enough Anammox bugs to fill 10 swimming pools.

Stochastic processes such as dispersal limitation in denitrifying and anammox bacterial community assemblies were more important than environmental selection. Anammox and denitrification rates in the ...

A micro-organism is being grown by Queensland Urban Utilities to treat human effluent, a move which could save $700,000 a year in energy and processing costs.

Contrary to what you will read in textbooks, the cell wall of anammox bacteria contains the structural molecule peptidoglycan after all, concludes a group of microbiologists. Ever since their ...
