Candidatus Brocadia fulgida is a bacterial species that performs the anammox process.[1] Fatty acids constitute an enrichment culture for B. fulgida.[2] The species' 16S ribosomal RNA sequence has been determined.[3] During the anammox process, it oxidizes acetate at the highest rate and out-competes other anammox bacteria which indicates that it doesn't incorporate acetate directly into their biomass like other anammox bacteria.
