Desulfitobacterium metallireducens explained

Desulfitobacterium metallireducens is an anaerobic bacterium that couples growth to the reduction of metals and humic acids as well as chlorinated compounds. Its type strain is 853-15A(T) (= ATCC BAA-636(T)). It was first isolated from a uranium-contaminated aquifer sediment.^[1]
