Deferribacter desulfuricans explained

Deferribacter desulfuricans is a species of sulfur-, nitrate- and arsenate-reducing thermophile first isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. It is an anaerobic, heterotrophic thermophile with type strain SSM1^T (=JCM 11476^T =DSM 14783^T).^[1]

Genome structure

Deferribacter desulfuricans genome contains 2,23 Mbp with 2,184 protein coding genes.^[2]
