Feammox functional microorganisms were enriched from anaerobic digestion sludge with NH4+-N and Fe(Ⅲ) supplementation and their long-term nitrogen removal performance was evaluated. Feammox activity was detected on day 66and remained stable in subsequent batches. The relative abundances of the potential Feammox functional bacteria Geobacter and Anaeromyxobacter increased by 457-fold and 11.6-fold, respectively. Metagenomic analysis revealed a significant increase in the total relative abundance of functional genes associated with three nitrite transformation pathways: ammonia oxidation to nitrite (amo, hao), nitrite denitrification to nitrogen gas (nirSK, norB, nosCZ), and nitrite reduction to ammonium (nirABD, nrfAH). The addition of the electron shuttle AQDS promoted extracellular electron transfer and enhanced the ammonia removal efficiency by 17.8%.
