Review of Desulfotomaculum species and proposal of the genera Desulfallas gen. nov., Desulfofundulus gen. nov., Desulfofarcimen gen. nov. and Desulfohalotomaculum gen. nov.

TLDR
The results of phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the genus Desulfotomaculum already has lost the clustering monophyly and was segregated into some distinct groups with low sequence similarity.
Abstract
The genus Desulfotomaculum is a heterogeneous group of spore-forming sulfate-reducing bacteria. The type species of the genus is Desulfotomaculum nigrificans (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Visser et al. 2014. The results of phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the genus Desulfotomaculum already has lost the clustering monophyly and was segregated into some distinct groups with low sequence similarity. Major features of the type strains in these groups were compared, and four novel genera, Desulfallas gen. nov., Desulfofundulus gen. nov., Desulfofarcimen gen. nov. and Desulfohalotomaculum gen. nov. were proposed to accommodate species transferred from the genus Desulfotomaculum .

Crystalline iron oxides stimulate methanogenic benzoate degradation in marine sediment-derived enrichment cultures.

TL;DR: The ability of microorganisms to colonize and concurrently reduce magnetite likely stimulated by the observed methanogenic benzoate degradation is shown, explaining the possible contribution of organoclastic reduction of iron oxides to the elevated dissolved Fe2+ pool typically observed in methanic zones of rapidly accumulating coastal and continental margin sediments.

Effect of sulfate addition on carbon flow and microbial community composition during thermophilic digestion of cellulose

TL;DR: Despite the strong impact of sulfate addition on the carbon flow and the microbial community structure during thermophilic biogas production, short-term process disturbances caused by unexpected introduction of sulfates may be overcome due to the high resilience of the engaged microorganisms.

Sediment cooling triggers germination and sulfate reduction by heat‐resistant thermophilic spore‐forming bacteria

TL;DR: Thermophilic endospores are widespread in cold marine sediments where the temperature is too low to support growth and activity of thermophiles in situ, and heat-resistant endospore-forming sulfate-reducing bacteria have a survival advantage if they are introduced to, or are resident in, an oil reservoir normally too hot for germination and growth.

Sulfate- and pH-driven metabolic flexibility in sugarcane vinasse dark fermentation stimulates biohydrogen evolution, sulfidogenesis or homoacetogenesis

TL;DR: In this article , a 2 2 central composite rotational design (CCRD) and response surface methodology (RSM) was used to assess the impacts of bicarbonate and sulfate availability on the establishment of sulfidogenesis in the thermophilic fermentation of vinasse in batch reactors.

Uniting the classification of cultured and uncultured bacteria and archaea using 16S rRNA gene sequences

TL;DR: This article proposes rational taxonomic boundaries for high taxa of bacteria and archaea on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence identities and suggests a rationale for the circumscription of uncultured taxa that is compatible with the taxonomy of cultured bacteria and Archaea.

A new anaerobic, sporing, acetate-oxidizing, sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfotomaculum (emend.) acetoxidans

TL;DR: A new strictly anaerobic, polarly flagellated, sporing, acetate-oxidizing, sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated from anaerobe fresh or sea water mud samples and an emended description of the genus Desulfotomaculum is proposed which includes the new bacterium as the species Desulfotomyaculum acetoxidans.

Phylogenetic Analysis of the Genus Desulfotomaculum: Evidence for the Misclassification of Desulfotomaculum guttoideum and Description of Desulfotomaculum orientis as Desulfosporosinus orientis gen. nov., comb. nov.

TL;DR: Almost complete 16S ribosomal DNA sequences were determined for the type strains of nine species belonging to the genus Desulfotomaculum and for seven strains described as strains of this genus, representing a new genus which branches most closely to the family Desulfitobacterium.
