Description

Desulfomicrobium baculatum (strain DSM 4028 / VKM B-1378) is a strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, sulfate reducer Gram-negative bacterium, originally isolated from water-saturated manganese carbonate ore. Its metabolism is respiratory or fermentative. It reduces sulfate to sulphide, and in the presence of sulfate, pyruvate and lactate are incompletely oxidized to acetate and CO2. Furthermore, sulfate, sulfite and thiosulfate are used as electron acceptors and are reduced to H2S. It is not able to reduce nitrate. Malate, fumarate and pyruvate can be fermented with succinate and acetate as end products, but the carbohydrates are not fermented. D. baculatum does not require NaCl for growth, although NaCl concentrations up to 6% (w/v) are tolerated, and has an optimal growth temperature between 28-37 degrees Celsius. Vitamins are not required for growth . This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the deltaproteobacterial family Desulfomicrobiaceae (Adapted from PMID 21304634).
