Syntrophus aciditrophicus is a gram-negative and rod-shaped bacterium. It is non-motile, non-spore-forming and grows under strictly anaerobic conditions, thus an obligate anaerobe. It degrades fatty acids and benzoate in syntrophic association with hydrogen-using microorganisms. [1] Its genome was published in 2007. [2]
