Characterization of Thauera-dominated hydrogen-oxidizing autotrophic denitrifying microbial communities by using high-throughput sequencing

- Firstly reported a Thauera-dominated hydrogenotrophic denitrifying consortium.
- Thauera were enriched into the dominant population from different seed sludges.
- Enriched denitrifying cultures were investigated by High-throughput sequencing.
- Enriched cultures achieved comparable nitrogen removal rates with P. denitrificans.
