TLDR
Electron microscopy of the ultrastructure of B. anammoxidans has shown that several membrane-bounded compartments are present inside the cytoplasm, and Hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, a keyAnammox enzyme, is found exclusively inside one of these compartments, tentatively named the 'anammoxosome'.About:

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in the marine environment
TL;DR: The bacteria conducting anammox are highly specialized and appear to belong to the Planctomycetales, and it may be responsible for up to 50% of the global removal of fixed nitrogen from the oceans.

Key Physiology of Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation
Marc Strous,J.G. Kuenen,Jetten +2 more
TL;DR: The physiology of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) aggregates grown in a sequencing batch reactor was investigated quantitatively and the anammox process was completely inhibited by nitrite concentrations higher than 0.1 g of nitrogen per liter.
