Genus of species found in activated sludge.
Genome-wide gene annotation suggested the potential for full glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, citric acid cycle and glyoxylate pathway.
Most species are predicted to convert acetate to acetyl-CoA via acetyl-CoA synthetase, acs, acetate kinase, ackA, and phosphate acetyltransferase, pta.
All species (except Aalborgicola danicus) have the potential to reduce nitrate with narGHI along with the reduction of nitrate to nitric oxide with nirS. Lastly it also had nitrous oxide reductase, nosZ predicted.
