Zusammenfassung: | In the Completely Autotrophic Nitrogen removal Over Nitrite (CANON) process, aerobic and anaerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria cooperate to remove ammonia in one oxygen-limited reactor. Kinetic studies, microsensor analysis, and fluorescence in situ hybridization on CANON biomass showed a partial differentiation of processes and organisms within and among aggregates. Under normal oxygen-limited conditions (∼5 μM O
2), aerobic ammonia oxidation (nitrification) was restricted to an outer shell (500 μm) accounted for 68% of the anammox potential whereas 65% of the nitrification potential was found in the smaller aggregates ( |
