brocadia fulgida brocadia fulgida candidatus brocadia fulgida is a bacterial species that performs the anammox process. fatty acids constitute an enrichment culture for b. fulgida. the species' 16s ribosomal rna sequence has been determined. 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. can. brocadia fulgida scientific classification kingdom: bacteria phylum: planctomycetota class: "ca. brocadiae" order: "ca. brocadiales" family: "ca. brocadiaceae" genus: "ca. brocadia" species: "ca. b. fulgida" binomial name "candidatus brocadia fulgida"kartal et al. 2004
