The significance of inorganic carbon (IC) for anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria has been verified. However, the regulation of metabolic pathways under IC stress is not clear, limiting the optimization of IC supply. In this study, the regulatory pathways at IC concentration of 5–150 mg/L were explored to achieve optimal control of IC. The results show that the changes of metabolic pathway under IC stress determined anammox characteristics. At IC concentration of 5 mg/L, the anammox activity distinctly decreased due to the guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) -mediated regulation under IC limitation. With less than 15 mg/L of IC, the decrease of carbon fixation limited the biosynthesis of gluconeogenesis and amino acids, causing the decline of extracellular polymeric substance synthesis. With more than 50 mg/L of IC, the improvement of purine and pyrimidine metabolism enhanced the electron transport capacity and growth potential of anammox bacteria. This study provides metabolic insights into IC influence on anammox consortia and a novel method of IC concentration optimization using metabolomics analysis.
