Description
This particular microbe was first discovered at the University of Konstanz by Friedrich Widdel in 1987. The organism is most well known for its sulfate reducing capabilities. Among the other species of the Desulfobacter genus, this species is highly related to its two sister species: Desulfobacter latus and Desulfobacter curvatus. Interestingly enough, these two species were also discovered by Widdel in the same paper that discovered Desulfobacter hydrogenophilus.
