Emma Bertran, Lewis M. Ward, David T. Johnston
Abstract
Here, we describe the genome of Desulfofundulus thermobenzoicus subsp. thermosyntrophicus DSM 14055, a member of the Clostridiales that is capable of sulfate reduction coupled to the oxidation of propionate, lactate, pyruvate, and H 2 /CO 2 . This genome expands our understanding of microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) in anaerobic methanogenic environments.
