厌氧氨氧化体的组成、结构与功能

Composition, structure and function of anammoxosome-A review

摘要:

厌氧氨氧化(Anammox)是微生物和环境领域的研究热点之一。厌氧氨氧化菌(AnAOB)是Anammox的功能载体。不同于大部分原核微生物, AnAOB具有独特的细胞器——厌氧氨氧化体,它是进行Anammox代谢的场所。研究厌氧氨氧化体有助于探明厌氧氨氧化菌的代谢特性。本文综述了厌氧氨氧化体的组成、结构与功能,以期为从事Anammox研究的同行提供参考。

Abstract:

Anaerobic ammonia oxidation(Anammox) is one of the highlights in the microbiology and environmental research. Anammox is the metabolic function of anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria(AnAOB). Different from aerobic ammonia oxidizing bacteria(AAOB), AnAOB has its characteristics in phylogenetics, cytology, physiology, etc. Especially, it has the unique organelle called anammoxosome. Anammoxosome is the place where the metabolism takes place. The research of anammoxosome is the basis to figure out the anammox performance. This article discusses the composition, structure and function of the anammoxosome.
