Abstract

Anammox in the genes Ten years ago a fortuitous discovery led to the identification of oceanic bacteria capable of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). It was soon recognized that the anammox reaction has great ecological significance, as it is responsible for removing up to 50% of fixed nitrogen from the oceans. The genome of the anammox bacterium Kuenenia stuttgartiensis has now been sequenced in a remarkable feat of what is called environmental genomics. Anammox bacteria grow very slowly and are not available in pure culture. For genome analysis an inoculum of wastewater sludge was grown in a bioreactor for one year, clocking up 10–15 generations. The DNA of the whole microbial community was sequenced and the genome of this one anammox bacterium was deduced from the results. With the genome sequence known, it will be possible to gain insight into the metabolism and evolution of these important bacteria.
