AmiGO 2: Term Details for "anaerobic respiration, using ammonium as electron donor" (GO:0019331)

Accession: GO:0019331
Name: anaerobic respiration, using ammonium as electron donor
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: anammox, anaerobic ammonium oxidation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The oxidation of ammonium (NH4) to nitrogen (N2) in the absence of oxygen, using nitrite (NO2) as the electron acceptor. It is suggested that hydroxylamine and ammonium are combined to yield hydrazine, which is subsequently oxidized to N2. Source: MetaCyc:P303-PWY
