Oxalobacter vibrioformis is an oxalate-degrading anaerobic bacterium that was isolated from anoxic freshwater sediments. [1] O. vibrioformis is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile, vibrioid rod which belongs to the genus Oxalobacter . O. vibrioformis uses oxalate and oxamate as its sole source of energy and acetate as its main source of carbon. [1]
