This study noted by 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA) staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) the presence of nitrososulfides (SNO) complex in the S2-+NO-amended methanogenic sludge. Kinetic analysis suggested two-step kinetics involving chemical equilibrium between S2-, NO and SNO as step 1 and the slow conversion from SNO to N2O as step 2. The SNO complex was claimed to have higher inhibition effect than S2- or NO alone on the methangenic activities. Comments were made on the role of SNO complex for the interactions between sulfur, nitrogen and carbon metabolisms in anaerobic digestion. ? 2013 Elsevier Ltd.Anaerobic digestionCLSMDenitrifying sulfide removalInhibitionjournal article10.1016/j.biortech.2013.05.0352-s2.0-84878789205https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84878789205&doi=10.1016%2fj.biortech.2013.05.035&partnerID=40&md5=2c4c23391042a8d6610dbd8b1002ccde
