Desulfuromonas is a Gram negative bacterial genus from the family of Desulfuromonadaceae. [1] [2] [3] Desulfuromonas can reduce elemental sulfur to H2S. [4] Desulfuromonas occur in anoxic sediments and saline lakes. [5]

Coprothermobacter is a genus of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the bacterial family Coprothermobacteraceae of the phylum Coprothermobacterota. This taxonomic genus has been reclassified in 2018, after different phylogenetic studies showed that these bacteria represented a deeply branched taxon of the domain Bacteria; consequently, the clade including this genus has been classified in a separate phylum from Firmicutes, the phylum where it was included before reclassification.
