Oxygen tolerance and detoxification mechanisms of highly enriched planktonic anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Oxygen is a key regulatory factor of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). Although the inhibitory effect of oxygen is evident, a wide range of oxygen sensitivities of anammox bacteria have been reported so far, which makes it difficult to model the marine nitrogen loss and design anammox-based technologies. Here, oxygen tolerance and detoxification mechanisms of four genera of anammox bacteria; one marine species ("Ca. Scalindua sp.") and four freshwater anammox species ("Ca. Brocadia sinica", "Ca. Brocadia sapporoensis", "Ca. Jettenia caeni", and "Ca. Kuenenia stuttgartiensis") were determined and then related to the activities of anti-oxidative enzymes. Highly enriched planktonic anammox cells were exposed to various levels of oxygen, and oxygen inhibition kinetics (50% inhibitory con
