The discovery of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) has greatly improved the understanding of the nitrogen cycle. Anammox provides great promise for the removal of nitrogen from wastewater, containing high concentration of ammonium. However, the presence of organic carbon is considered as unfavorable to this autotrophic process, i.e. anammox. Most of the real wastewaters contain both organic carbon and nitrogen. Under this circumstance, several processes have been established primarily for the complete removal of organic carbon. Subsequently, the wastewater containing no or low organic carbon and nitrogen is treated via a variety of nitrogen removal processes. The co-existence of anammox and denitrification could be useful for the simultaneous removal of nitrogen and organic carbon in a single system rather than a sequential chain of treatment. This review addresses the microbiology, strategies, consequences and the future research challenges in the co-existence of anammox and denitrification.
厌氧氨氧化（anammox）的发现极大地提高了人们对氮循环的认识。anammox 为去除含有高浓度氨氮的废水提供了很大的希望。然而，有机碳的存在被认为对这种自养过程（即 anammox）不利。大多数实际废水既含有有机碳又含有氮。在这种情况下，已经建立了几种主要用于完全去除有机碳的工艺。随后，通过各种氮去除工艺处理不含或低有机碳和氮的废水。anammox 和反硝化的共存对于在单个系统中同时去除氮和有机碳而不是顺序处理链可能是有用的。本综述讨论了 anammox 和反硝化共存的微生物学、策略、后果和未来研究挑战。
