Candidatus Scalindua wagneri is a Gram-negative coccoid-shaped bacterium that was first isolated from a wastewater treatment plant.[1] This bacterium is an obligate anaerobic chemolithotroph that undergoes anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox).[1] It can be used in the wastewater treatment industry in nitrogen reactors to remove nitrogenous wastes from wastewater without contributing to fixed nitrogen loss and greenhouse gas emission.[2]
