Oleidesulfovibrio alaskensis (formerly Desulfovibrio alaskensis) belongs to the sulfate-reducing bacteria. The type strain is Al1T (= NCIMB 13491T = DSM 16109T). [1]
O. alaskensis has the ability to reduce radionuclides and heavy metals such as uranium and chromium to soluble and less toxic forms. The O. alaskensis strain G20 is an anaerobe with an optimal temperature range of 25°C-40°C. It is a gram negative microbe which is rod shaped, does not produce endospores, and is arranged in single cells. This strain is not known to cause any disease.
Several strains of O. alaskensis have been sequenced: G20 (DOE JGI, 2007-2011 [2] [3] ), RB2256, and DSM 16109 (DOE JGI 2013 [4] ).
Streptococcus thermophilus formerly known as Streptococcus salivarius subsp. thermophilus is a gram-positive bacterium, and a fermentative facultative anaerobe, of the viridans group. It tests negative for cytochrome, oxidase, and catalase, and positive for alpha-hemolytic activity. It is non-motile and does not form endospores. S. thermophilus is fimbriated.
Desulfosporosinus is a genus of strictly anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria, often found in soil.
Desulfovibrio putealis is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing. Its cells are motile by means of a polar flagellum and contain desulfoviridin. The type strain is B7-43T.
Desulfovibrio piezophilus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and piezophilic, hence its name. The type strain is C1TLV30(T).
Desulfovibrio paquesii is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and hydrogenotrophic. The type strain is SB1(T).
Desulfovibrio magneticus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and is notable for producing intracellular single-domain-sized magnetite particles, making it magnetotactic. Its type strain is RS-1T.
Desulfovibrio idahonensis is a bacterium. It contains c-type cytochromes and reduces sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, DMSO, anthraquinone disulfonate and fumarate. The type strain is CY1T.
Desulfovibrio marinisediminis is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing. Its cells are vibrio-shaped, Gram-negative, motile rods with single polar flagella. The type strain is C/L2(T).
Desulfovibrio marrakechensis is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing and tyrosol-oxidising. Its cells are mesophilic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative, catalase-positive and straight-rod-shaped. They contain cytochrome c(3) and desulfoviridin. The type strain is EMSSDQ(4)(T).
Desulfovibrio carbinolicus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing. Its cells are gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile and curved. Its type strain is EDK82.
Desulfitobacterium hafniense is a species of gram positive bacteria, its type strain is DCB-2T..
Desulfovibrio profundus is a bacterium. It is sulfate-reducing barophilic bacteria. It is strictly anaerobic, vibrio-shaped and its type strain is 500–1.
Desulfovibrio bastinii is a moderately halophilic bacteria. It is sulfate-reducing, mesophilic and motile. Its type strain is SRL4225T.
Desulfovibrio gracilis is a moderately halophilic bacteria. It is sulfate-reducing, mesophilic and motile. Its type strain is SRL6146T.
Desulfovibrio gabonensis is a moderately halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium. Its cells are motile curved rods that have a single polar flagellum. Its type strain is SEBR 2840.
Deinococcus marmoris is a Gram-positive bacterium isolated from Antarctica. As a species of the genus Deinococcus, the bacterium is UV-tolerant and able to withstand low temperatures.
Rubrobacter xylanophilus is a thermophilic species of bacteria. It is slightly halotolerant, short rod- and coccus-shaped and gram-positive, with type strain PRD-1T. It is the only known true radiation resistant thermophile. It can degrade xylan and hemicellulose. The first strain of the genus Rubrobacter was isolated from gamma-irradiated hot spring water samples by Yoshinaka. This organism was found to be extremely gamma-radiation resistant, with a higher shoulder dose than the canonical radiation resistant species of the genus Deinococcus. The organism stained Gram-positive and was slightly thermophilic with an optimum growth temperature of about 60 °C.
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. It is particularly noted for its ability to produce methyl mercury. The reductive glycine pathway, a seventh route for organisms to capture CO2, was discovered in this species. Since these bacteria are killed by exposure to atmospheric oxygen, the environmental niches most frequently occupied by these bacteria are anaerobic. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans 27774 was reported to produce gene transfer agents.
Desulfovibrio aminophilus is a Gram-negative, mesophilic, non-spore-forming, amino acid degrading and sulfate-reducing bacterium from the genus of Desulfovibrio which has been isolated from an anaerobic lagoon from a dairy wastewater treatment plant in Santa Fe de Bogota in Colombia.
The species Rhizorhabdus wittichii, formerly Sphingomonas wittichii, is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped motile bacterium, with an optimum growth temperature at 30 °C. It forms a greyish white colony. It has been found to have a 67 mol% of DNA G+C content.
