Fusibacter ferrireducens is a bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae.
A hyperthermophile is an organism that thrives in extremely hot environments—from 60 °C upwards. An optimal temperature for the existence of hyperthermophiles is often above 80 °C. Hyperthermophiles are often within the domain Archaea, although some bacteria are also able to tolerate extreme temperatures. Some of these bacteria are able to live at temperatures greater than 100 °C, deep in the ocean where high pressures increase the boiling point of water. Many hyperthermophiles are also able to withstand other environmental extremes, such as high acidity or high radiation levels. Hyperthermophiles are a subset of extremophiles. Their existence may support the possibility of extraterrestrial life, showing that life can thrive in environmental extremes.
Albidiferax is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria).
Rhodoferax ferrireducens is a psychrotolerant bacterium from the genus Rhodoferax, which was isolated from the mud of Oyster Bay in Virginia.
Desulfuromonas svalbardensis is a species of psychrophilic, Fe(III)-reducing bacteria. It is Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile. Its type strain is 112T.
Desulfuromusa ferrireducens is a species of psychrophilic, Fe(III)-reducing bacteria. It is Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile. Its type strain is 102T.
Rhodoferax is a genus of Betaproteobacteria belonging to the purple nonsulfur bacteria. Originally, Rhodoferax species were included in the genus Rhodocyclus as the Rhodocyclus gelatinous-like group. The genus Rhodoferax was first proposed in 1991 to accommodate the taxonomic and phylogenetic discrepancies arising from its inclusion in the genus Rhodocyclus. Rhodoferax currently comprises four described species: R. fermentans, R. antarcticus, R. ferrireducens, and R. saidenbachensis. R. ferrireducens, lacks the typical phototrophic character common to two other Rhodoferax species. This difference has led researchers to propose the creation of a new genus, Albidoferax, to accommodate this divergent species. The genus name was later corrected to Albidiferax. Based on geno- and phenotypical characteristics, A. ferrireducens was reclassified in the genus Rhodoferax in 2014. R. saidenbachensis, a second non-phototrophic species of the genus Rhodoferax was described by Kaden et al. in 2014.
Thermolithobacteria is a class of rod-shaped Gram-positive bacteria within phylum Bacillota. Species within this class are thermophilic lithotrophs isolated from sediment in Calcite Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Thermolithobacter ferrireducens strain JW/KA-2(T) metabolism consists of the oxidation of hydrogen gas and reduction of ferric oxide to magnetite. Thermolithobacter carboxydivorans strain R1(T) is hydrogenic and oxidizes carbon monoxide.
Desulfovibrio ferrireducens is a psychrotolerant bacterium from the genus of Desulfovibrio which has been isolated from permanently cold sediments from Fjord in Svalbard.
Aciditerrimonas ferrireducens is a Gram-positive, iron-reducing, moderately thermophilic, short rod-shaped, acidophilic and motile bacterium from the genus Aciditerrimonas which has been isolated from soil from a solfataric field in Ōwakudani in Japan.
Carboxydothermus ferrireducens is a thermophilic and anaerobic bacterium from the genus of Carboxydothermus.
Geovibrio is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Deferribacteraceae.
Geovibrio ferrireducens is a Gram-negative, Fe(III)-reducing, obligately anaerobic and motile bacterium from the genus of Geovibrio.
Sinirhodobacter ferrireducens is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic and Fe(III) oxide-reducing bacterium from the genus Sinirhodobacter.
Acidicapsa ferrireducens is a species of bacterium originally isolated from metal-rich acidic waters.
Natronincola ferrireducens is an anaerobic, obligately alkaliphilic, spore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium from the genus of Natronincola.
Fusibacter is a genus of bacteria within the phylum Bacillota. Species are most well known from technical environments, Fusibacter fontis being the first described species of this genus isolated from a natural environment. The reported members of this genus are fermentative and halotolerant anaerobes. Moreover, these species share sulfur-reducing features capable of generating sulfide starting from elemental sulfur or thiosulfate sources.
Fusibacter bizertensis is a bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae. Fusibacter bizertensis was identified from a corroded kerosene storage tank.
Fusibacter fontis is a bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae.
Fusibacter paucivorans is a thiosulfate-reducing bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae. It is the most studied species of the genus Fusibacter, isolated from oil-producing wells.
Fusibacter tunisiensis is a bacterium from the family Peptostreptococcaceae. It was isolated from an anaerobic reactor used to treat olive-mill wastewater.
