Project description:Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonia (DNRA) is an important part of the microbial N-cycle both in natural and man-made habitats, although its significance in wastewater treatment plants is not well understood. Nitrate-limited enrichments from activated sludge with acetate as e-donor consistently resulted in a domination of two closely related genotypes of ammonifying members of Deltaproteobacteria belonging to the genus Geobacter. One of the two was isolated in pure culture which appears to be an extremely specialized ammonifier, actively growing only with acetate as e-donor and C source and nitrate as e-acceptor. The shotgun proteomic raw data obtained from whole cell lysates are provided. First and corresponding author: Dimitry Y. Sorokin soroc@inmi.ru; d.sorokin@tudelft.nl
