Genome of a Novel Bacterium "Candidatus Jettenia ecosi" Reconstructed From the Metagenome of an Anammox Bioreactor.

ABSTRACT: The microbial community of a laboratory-scale bioreactor based on the anammox process was investigated by using metagenomic approaches and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The bioreactor was initially inoculated with activated sludge from the denitrifying bioreactor of a municipal wastewater treatment station. By constantly increasing the ammonium and nitrite load, a microbial community containing the novel species of anammox bacteria "Candidatus Jettenia ecosi" developed in the bioreactor after 5 years when the maximal daily nitrogen removal rate reached 8.5 g/L. Sequencing of the metagenome of anammox granules and the binning of the contigs obtained, allowed a high quality draft genome of the dominant anammox bacterium, "Candidatus Jettenia ecosi" to be asse
