2014厌氧氨氧化专刊序言

Preface for special issue on Anammox (2014)

厌氧氨氧化是环境微生物领域的重要发现,在废水生物脱氮和地球氮素循环中具有重大作用。为了反映近年来国内外厌氧氨氧化研究的一些重要进展,组织出版了"厌氧氨氧化专刊"。本期专刊包括综述和研究论文两部分,内容涉及厌氧氨氧化的菌群富集、菌群分析、菌种保藏、碳源影响、工艺应用、优化对策等。

Anaerobic ammonia oxidation（Anammox） is one of the important discoveries in the field of environmental microbiology, and it plays an indispensible role in the nitrogen removal from wastewaters and the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. Through review research progress in anaerobic ammonia oxidation, an Anammox special issue is published so as to find problems, explore applications and outlook developments. The special issue consists of reviews and original papers, mainly involving in the following aspects： i） enrichment of Anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria（An AOB）; ii） community analysis of An AOB; iii） preservation of granular An AOB sludge; iv） effect of organic matter on Anammox; v） application of Anammox process, etc.
