The anammox reaction involves autotrophic inorganic
carbon assimilation with 0.065 mol CO2 fixed per mol
N2 released (primary source), i.e. 0.028 g C assimilated
from CO2 for each gram of N released as N2. (multiply 0.065 by molecular mass of C and divide by molecular mass of dinitrogen: 0.065×12/28=0.028) |
