"Candidatus Brocadia" is a candidatus genus of bacteria, meaning that while it is well-characterized, it has not been grown as a pure culture yet.[6][7] Due to this, much of what is known about Candidatus species (including Brocadia) has been discovered using culture-independent techniques such as metagenomic sequence analysis.[6]
Some notable species within this genus include the type species, Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans, along with Candidatus Brocadia sinica and Candidatus Brocadia fulgida. Many of the species in this genus, including those already listed, are capable of anaerobic ammonium oxidation, also known as anammox, an important part of the global nitrogen cycle.[8][9] Anammox works by converting fixed nitrogen back into N2 gas in the atmosphere.[9] Anammox bacteria have a unique, membrane-bound organelle where this anammox process takes place—it is called the anammoxosome.[7]
