Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process, which oxidizes NH4+ to N2 using NO2 under anoxic conditions, is a novel nitrogen removal process different from a conventional nitrification-denitrification process. We clarified the distribution of anammox bacteria in a constructed wetland receiving effluent from a wastewater treatment facility. Potential anammox activity, which was estimated using a nitrogen isotope pairing technique was greatest in the upper soil layer. Potential anammox activity was negatively correlated with distance from the inflow point, and positively correlated with soil water content and NO2- concentration. The highest activity and highest copy number of anammox genes were observed at a site that was submerged, vegetated, and near the inlet. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that anammox bacteria in the wetland had greater similarity to uncultured anammox bacteria from freshwater environments than to that from the wastewater treatment facility.
