The discovering of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process led to the development of autotrophic nitrogen removal systems for the treatment of effluents with low C:N rate. The anammox processes provide an efficient way to remove high concentrations of ammonium compounds from industrial and urban wastewater and covert them to dinitrogen. Nevertheless, recently obtained results suggest new ways for research on autotrophic nitrogen removal system including possibility for low temperature operation, adaptation to high organic matter loads and antibiotics inhibition effect. For these reasons, the prevalence and spatial distribution of anammox communities in autotrophic nitrogen removal wastewater treatment technologies, as well as their role in formation of fixed biofilms, are reviewed here in order to illustrate the present and future significance of these microorganisms in environmental biotechnology.
厌氧氨氧化（anammox）过程的发现促使了自养脱氮系统的发展，以处理 C:N 比较低的废水。anammox 过程提供了一种从工业和城市废水中高效去除高浓度氨氮化合物并将其转化为氮气的方法。然而，最近的研究结果表明，自养脱氮系统的研究有了新的方向，包括低温运行的可能性、适应高有机物负荷和抗生素抑制作用。基于这些原因，本文综述了自养脱氮废水处理技术中厌氧氨氧化菌群落的流行和空间分布，以及它们在固定生物膜形成中的作用，以说明这些微生物在环境生物技术中的当前和未来意义。
