    • To deal with the high toxicity of hydrazine, anammox bacteria have a hydrazine-containing intracellular organelle called the anammoxasome (a compartment inside the cytoplasm which is the locus of anammox catabolism), which is surrounded by an unusual and highly compact ladderane lipid membrane.
    • Further, the membranes of these bacteria mainly consist of ladderane lipids so far unique in biology.
