Syntrophomonas sapovorans is a bacterium. It is anaerobic, syntrophic, and fatty acid-oxidizing and obligately proton-reducing. Its type strain is OM. [1] It has a doubling time of 40 hours. [2] It is part of the family Syntrophomonadaceae based on comparative small-subunit (SSU) rRNA sequence analysis. [2] This family currently contains three genera, Syntrophomonas, Syntrophospora, and Thermosyntropha, as well as two closely related isolates, strains FSM2 and FSS7. [2]
