Sentences with phrase «with anammox»

Nitrospira was always thought to compete with anammox, by stealing its nitrite away.

Not exact matches

Back at Princeton, Ward suspected that both processes were necessary, with denitrification churning out the ammonium that anammox then converted to nitrogen gas.

In the new study, the researchers found that both of these nitrogen «exit strategies» are at work in the oceans, with denitrification mopping up about 70 percent of the nitrogen and anammox disposing of the rest.

But with the current discovery, it seems that Nitrospira was actually helping anammox all along by providing it with extra nitrite.
