Thermodesulfobacterium hydrogeniphilum
Thermodesulfobacterium is a Group II sulfate-reducing bacteria because it can can utilize acetate and other fatty acids, oxidizing them completely.
Thermodesulfobacterium's habitat is generally observed to be aquatic. Isolated from volcanic hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides, and other marine environments. This is thought to be because although sulfate reduction is thought to be an anaerobic process, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are also important in aerobic environments if they can proliferate in anaerobic zones. For example, in marine sediments and in aerobic wastewater treatment systems, sulfate reduction accounts for up to 50% of the mineralization of organic matter. Furthermore, sulfate reduction strongly stimulates microbially enhanced corrosion of metals.
