AbstractAnaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) plays an important role in aquatic systems as a sink of bioavailable nitrogen (N), and in engineered processes by removing ammonium from wastewater. The isotope effects anammox imparts in the N isotope signatures (15N/14N) of ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate can be used to estimate its role in environmental settings, to describe physiological and ecological variations in the anammox process, and possibly to optimize anammox-based wastewater treatment. We measured the stable N-isotope composition of ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate in wastewater cultivations of anammox bacteria. We find that the N isotope enrichment factor 15ε for the reduction of nitrite to N2 is consistent across all experimental conditions (13.5‰ ± 3.7‰), suggesting it reflects the composition of the anammox bacteria community. Values of 15ε for the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate (inverse isotope effect, − 16 to − 43‰) and for the reduction of ammonium to N2 (normal isotope effect, 19–32‰) are more variable, and likely controlled by experimental conditions. We argue that the variations in the isotope effects can be tied to the metabolism and physiology of anammox bacteria, and that the broad range of isotope effects observed for anammox introduces complications for analyzing N-isotope mass balances in natural systems.

The diffusion coefficients of hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) in Pd were determined in the frame of a quantum mechanical consideration. The three dimensional (3D) wave functions and eigenenergies of H and D at a stable octahedral (o) site and a metastable tetrahedral (t) site were determined by solving the Schrödinger equation with 3D potentials obtained by the first principles calculation. The states of H and D along the diffusion path were also determined by using transient potentials which were obtained with an aid of the nudged elastic band method. The magnitudes of tunneling matrix elements (J) were evaluated from the eigenenergy curves along the diffusion path. In the Pd-H system, thermally activated tunneling transitions are dominant jump processes. On the other hand, in the Pd-D system, it is revealed that a transition via an extended state where the wave function spreads both to o- and t-sites also has a considerable contribution to the diffusion. The calculated diffusion coefficients for H and D quantitatively agreed with experimental values and the so-called inverse isotope effect was reproduced.
