Simplified N cycle showing how anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) (broken arrows) bypasses the classic coupling of aerobic nitrification to denitrification, with the oxidation of NH4+ and N2 formation being driven by the reduction of NO2−. Note the process of DNRA and that NO2− is an intermediate of both DNRA and nitrification.
