Sulfammox

Sulfate reduction coupled to ammonium oxidation, or sulfammox, is a novel multi-step microbial process especially pertinent to industrial wastewater treatment. Microbial species associated with sulfammox include but are not limited to Anammoxoglobus sulfate, Bacillus benzoevorans, Candidatus_ Anammoxoglobus, Bacillus cereus SUD-1.[1][2][3][4] This list includes species that may perform sulfammox alongside other microbes, though SUD-1 was shown to perform sulfammox when isolated in an experiment.[5][4]
