Anaerobic ammonium oxidation in a tropical freshwater system (Lake Tanganyika)
Abstract
Summary: Here we provide the first direct evidence for the anammox process (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) in a lacustrine system, Lake Tanganyika, the second largest lake in the world. Incubations with 15 N labelled nitrate showed that anammox occurred in the suboxic water layer at 100–110 m water depth. Anammox rates up to 10 nM N 2 h −1 are comparable to those reported for the marine water column. Up to ∼13% of produced N 2 could be attributed to the anammox process whereas the remainder was related to denitrification. Typical lipid biomarkers characteristic of anammox bacteria were found in filtered water from the depths where anammox occurred, thus supporting the presence of anammox bacteria. Further evidence is provided by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), revealing up to 13 000 anammox bacteria cells per ml or 1.4% of all DAPI (4′‐6‐Diamidino‐2‐phenylindole)‐stained cells. Phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA genes indicated the presence of sequences most closely related to the known anammox bacterium Candidatus ‘Scalindua brodae’ (95.7% similarity). Using the incubation results, a total loss of 0.2 Tg N 2 per year linked to anammox was estimated for the Northern basin of Lake Tanganyika.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
