HAMAP: Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain ATCC 27774 / DSM 6949) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain ATCC 27774 / DSM 6949)
Species code: DESDA
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Desulfovibrionales; Desulfovibrionaceae; Desulfovibrio (TaxID: 525146) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain ATCC 27774 / DSM 6949) is a sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from the rumen of a sheep. D. desulfuricans reduces sulfate to sulfide found in soil, freshwater, saltwater and the intestinal tract of animals. This organism grows anaerobically and utilizes a wide variety of electron acceptors, including sulfate, sulfur, nitrate, and nitrite, as well as others. The nitrate reduction pathway is not expressed while sulfate is available. Alternatively, the sulfate reduction pathway is constitutively expressed when the cells are growing with nitrate reduction. A number of toxic metals are reduced, including uranium (VI), chromium (VI) and iron (III), making this organism of interest as bioremediator. Metal corrosion, a problem that is partly the result of the collective activity of this bacterium, results in billions of dollars in losses each year to the petroleum industry. This organism is responsible for the production of poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas in marine sediments and in terrestrial environments such as drilling sites for petroleum products.
