Desulfovibrionales are a taxonomic order of bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermodesulfobacteriota, with four families. They are Gram-negative. The majority are sulfate-reducing, with the exception of Lawsonia and Bilophila. All members of this order are obligately anaerobic. Most species are mesophilic, but some are moderate thermophiles.
The Desulfobacteraceae are a family of Thermodesulfobacteriota. They reduce sulfates to sulfides to obtain energy and are strictly anaerobic. They have a respiratory and fermentative type of metabolism. Some species are chemolithotrophic and use inorganic materials to obtain energy and use hydrogen as their electron donor.
The Propionibacteriaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria found in dairy products or in the intestinal tracts of animals and living in the pores of humans.
Aestuariimicrobium is a singleton genus in the phylum Actinomycetota (Bacteria), whose first member, namely Aestuariimicrobium kwangyangense, was isolated from a diesel contaminated coastal site. Like all Actinobacteria, it is gram-positive and with a high CG content (69%). It is rod/coccoid shaped bacterium whose main quinone is menaquinone-7 (MK7).
Microlunatus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, mesophilic, aerobic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Propionibacteriaceae.
Desulfobotulus is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming and motile bacteria genus from the family of Desulfobacteraceae.
Desulfosarcina is a Gram-negative and strictly anaerobic bacteria genus from the family of Desulfosarcinaceae.
Desulfotignum is a Gram-negative and strictly anaerobic bacteria with a single polar flagellum genus from the family of Desulfobacteraceae.
Acidipropionibacterium is a bacterial genus from the family of Propionibacteriaceae.
Luteococcus is a bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Propioniciclava is a bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Tessaracoccus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Cutibacterium is a bacterial genus from the family of Propionibacteriaceae.
Arachnia is a bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Marmoricola is a Gram-positive and chemoorganotrophic bacterial genus from the family of Nocardioidaceae.
Desulfonatronovibrio is a Gram-negative, vibrios, anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Desulfohalobiaceae with a single polar flagellum.
Hippea is an obligate anaerobic and moderately thermophilic bacteria genus from the family of Desulfobacteraceae. Hippea is named after the German microbiologist Hans Hippe.
Orenia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Halobacteroidaceae. Orenia bacteria occurs in saline environments.
Halanaerobium is a gram-negative, non-endospore-forming, rod-shaped, and strictly anaerobic genus of bacteria from the family Halanaerobiaceae.
The Opitutaceae are a Gram-negative and chemoheterotrophic order of the domain Bacteria. Opitutaceae bacteria were isolated from soil and coastal marine springs.
