(Russian Academy of Sciences) Contributor Whitman, William (editor) Date 2024 Abstract The family Desulfurivibrionaceae includes obligately anaerobic, moderately salt-tolerant, obligately alkaliphilic chemolithoautotrophic bacteria with a unique energy metabolism consisting of elemental sulfur disproportionation. H2 or formate can also serve as additional electron donors for sulfur reduction, while nitrate can be ammonified with either sulfide or formate as the electron donors. The cultured representatives are found exclusively in saline soda lakes. The family consists of a single genus Desulfurivibrio with the type species D. alkaliphilus and a second yet undescribed species “D. dismutans” DNA G+C content (%): 60.0-60.3 (whole genome sequences)Type genus : Desulfurivibrio Sorokin et al. 2008, VL123 To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:06ad88e7-12a6-4053-a8f8-a87e7c5fb2fd Publisher John Wiley & Sons Access restriction Campus only ISBN 9781118960608 Source Bergey’s Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type book chapter Rights © 2024 Dimitry Y.
