Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans MPOB

Names Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans MPOB
Accession numbers NC_008554
Background Syntropobacter fumaroxidans is a syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium, which was isolated from a culture enriched from anaerobic granular sludge. It oxidizes propionate syntrophically in co-culture with the hydrogen- and formate-utilizing Methanospirillum hungateii, and is able to oxidize propionate and other organic compounds in pure culture with sulfate or fumarate as the electron acceptor. Additionally, it ferments fumarate. It is a non-motile, non-spore-forming, Gram- bacteria. (EBI Integr8)
