Abstrakt: Anaerobic ammonium oxidization (Anammox) process plays a crucial role in the global nitrogen cycle and sustainable biological nitrogen removal from wastewater. Although Anammox bacteria have been detected across mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, the direct cultivation of Anammox bacteria from thermal environments has remained elusive. This impedes limiting our understanding of their physiology and ecology in high-temperature habitats. Here, we successfully enriched Anammox bacteria from hot spring sediments at 45 °C, achieving an ammonium oxidation rate of 158.0 mg NH 4 + -N l -1 d -1 , with the genus 'Candidatus Brocadia' presenting 22.9 % of the total microbial community after about 500 days of operation. Metagenomic analysis recovered two high-quality genomes of novel Anammox bacteria, which we designed as 'Candidatus Brocadia thermophilus' and 'Candidatus Brocadia thermoanammoxidans'. Both of them encoded and actively expressed key metabolic genes involved in Anammox process and several genes associated with thermotolerance, demonstrating their remarkable ability to perform Anammox reaction in thermophilic environments. Notably, phylotypes related to 'Candidatus Brocadia thermoanammoxidans' have frequently been retrieved from geographically distinct natural habitats. These findings expand our understanding of thermophilic Anammox bacteria and underscore their potential in the nitrogen cycle of thermal natural and engineering ecosystems.
