Anammox bacteria belong to the phylum Planctomycetes and perform anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox); they oxidize ammonium with nitrite as the electron acceptor to yield dinitrogen gas. The anammox reaction takes place inside the anammoxosome: an intracytoplasmic compartment bounded by a single ladderane lipid-containing membrane. The anammox bacteria, first found in a wastewater treatment plant in The Netherlands, have the potential to remove ammonium from wastewater without the addition of organic carbon. Very recently anammox bacteria were also discovered in the Black Sea where they are responsible for 30-50% of the nitrogen consumption. This review will introduce different forms of intracytoplasmic membrane systems found in prokaryotes and discuss the compartmentalization in anammox bacteria and its possible functional relation to catabolism and energy transduction.
厌氧氨氧化细菌属于浮霉菌门，可进行厌氧氨氧化反应；它们以亚硝酸盐作为电子受体氧化铵，生成氮气。厌氧氨氧化反应发生在厌氧氨氧化体内部：这是一个由单层含梯烷脂质的膜界定的胞质内区室。厌氧氨氧化细菌最初是在荷兰的一家污水处理厂中发现的，它们有潜力在不添加有机碳的情况下从废水中去除铵。最近，在黑海也发现了厌氧氨氧化细菌，它们在那里消耗了30%至50%的氮。本综述将介绍原核生物中发现的不同形式的胞内膜系统，并讨论厌氧氨氧化细菌中的区室化及其与分解代谢和能量转导可能的功能关系。
