metagenomic studies of aerobic methane oxidation coupled to denitrification process in a membrane biofilm reactor

Aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation coupled to denitrification (AME-D) under the hypoxic condition is a promising wastewater treatment process for the CH4 use and nitrogen removal. In this study, metagenomics were used to explore the microorganisms and their metabolic mechanisms in an AME-D membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) under the hypoxic condition with high nitrogen removal efficiency.
