N2 - The efficient treatment of wastewater for the removal of nitrogen is of key importance to prevent eutrophication and deoxygenation of receiving water bodies. In addition, ineffective wastewater treatment can be a source of greenhouse gasses. The application of newly discovered microbial processes, such as nitrite/nitrate-dependent methane oxidation (N-damo), can make wastewater treatment systems more sustainable; especially when they are combined with anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). A treatment system based on these microbial processes will need oxygen supply for the production of nitrite. This oxygen may inhibit N-damo and anammox and careful regulation of the oxygen supply is of key importance for the success of the application of N-damo in wastewater treatment.
