Candidatus Brocadia fulgida is a prokaryotic species of bacteria 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 outcompetes other anammox bacteria, which indicates that it does not incorporate acetate directly into its biomass like other anammox bacteria.[4]
