Abstract Synopsis

  • This study used advanced 3D imaging technology called synchrotron soft X-ray tomography (SXT) to examine the ultrastructure of intact anammox bacteria without destroying them, revealing unique features related to their function in nitrogen cycling.
  • Researchers identified high soft X-ray absorption inside the anammoxosome, linked to iron-binding proteins, which are important for the bacteria's metabolic processes.
  • The study also explored how the shape of the bacteria adapts in response to iron, providing insights into their structural and functional relationship in the environment.]
