AAA enrichment bioreactor. bioreactor metagenome

Sequencing effort of an enrichment bioreactor inoculated with the effluent of the enrichment described in Raghoebarsing et al 2006 (PMID 16612380). The enrichment was aimed at the ANME associated Archaea (AAA) that were approximately 40% The enrichment bioreactor was obtained was inoculated with biomass from the effluent of an enrichment containing nitrite dependent anaerobic methanotroph Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera (described in PMID: 16612380). To enrich for the Archaea also observed in thie original reactor, nitrate rather than nitrite was added as terminal electron acceptor.
