Desulfovibrio desulfuricans

(Beijerinck 1895) Kluyver and van Niel 1936

Synonyms[1]
  • Spirillum desulfuricans Beijerinck 1895
  • Bacillus desulfuricans Saltet 1900
  • Microspira desulfuricans Migula 1900
  • Vibrio cholinicus Haywood and Stadtman 1959

Desulfovibrio desulfuricans is a Gram-negative sulfate-reducing bacteria. It is generally found in soil, water, and the stools of animals, although in rare cases it has been found to cause infection in humans.[2] It is particularly noted for its ability to produce methyl mercury.[3] The reductive glycine pathway, a seventh route for organisms to capture CO2, was discovered in this species.[4] Since these bacteria are killed by exposure to atmospheric oxygen, the environmental niches most frequently occupied by these bacteria are anaerobic.[5] Desulfovibrio desulfuricans 27774 was reported to produce gene transfer agents.[6][vague]

Morphology[edit]

Desulfovibrio desulfuricans has been described as a motile, rod-shaped, Gram-negative obligate anaerobe with polar flagella. It measures approximately 3 μm by 0.5 μm.[7]
