Abstract

The nitritation-anammox process, which involves partial aerobic oxidation of the ammonium to nitrite and following oxidation of ammonium by nitrite to molecular nitrogen, is an efficient and cost-effective approach for biological nitrogen removal from wastewater. To characterize the microbial communities involved in the nitrogen and carbon cycles in wastewater treatment bioreactors employing this process, we sequenced the metagenome of a sludge sample collected from the lab-scale nitritation-anammox sequencing-batch reactor. At the phylum level, Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi were the most numerous groups. Anammox bacteria belonged to the genus Candidatus Brocadia. The obtained data will help to investigate the taxonomical and functional diversity the microbial communities involved in nitritation-anammox process, and will be used for genome-based analysis of uncultured bacterial lineages. The raw sequencing data is available from the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRR9831403) database under the BioProject PRJN0A55627.
