Background Desulfotomaculum acetoxidans (strain ATCC 49208 / DSM 771 / VKM B-1644) is an obligate anaerobic, acetate-oxidizing, sulfate-reducing Gram-positive bacterium isolated from piggery waste in Gottingen, Germany. This organism is able to oxidize acetate to carbon dioxide, via the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase pathway, with the formation of hydrogen sulfide from sulfate. D. acetoxidans is primarily intestinal bacterium and sporulation is observed only when acetate is the organic substrate. Optimum growth with acetate occurs around 37 degrees. Growth is not supported by other organic acids, alcohols. Sulfite and thiosulfate are also used as electron acceptors, but sulfur and nitrate are not reduced. Organic substances are not fermented (Adapted from PMID: 10319454). (EBI Integr8)
