Probing Denitrifying Anaerobic Methane Oxidation via Antimicrobial Intervention: Implications for Innovative Wastewater Management.

ABSTRACT: Methane emissions present a significant environmental challenge in both natural and engineered aquatic environments. Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (N-DAMO) has the potential for application in wastewater treatment plants. However, our understanding of the N-DAMO process is primarily based on studies conducted on environmental samples or enrichment cultures using metagenomic approaches. To gain deeper insights into N-DAMO, we used antimicrobial compounds to study the function and physiology of 'Candidatus Methanoperedens nitroreducens' and 'Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera' in N-DAMO enrichment cultures. We explored the effects of inhibitors and antibiotics and investigated the potential application of N-DAMO in wastewater contaminated with ammonium and heavy met
