Short summary
Significant changes in the microbial community were observed during 180-day incubations of soil samples from a wetland where Feammox activity has been observed previously, as well as in a continuous flow membrane reactor. Results indicate that the dominant microbial species, an uncultured Acidimicrobiaceae bacterium A6 belonging to the Acidimicrobiaceae family, plays a key role in this anaerobic biological process using ferric iron as an electron acceptor while oxidizing ammonium to nitrite.
