Query: NC_013943:382807 Denitrovibrio acetiphilus DSM 12809 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Denitrovibrio acetiphilus; Denitrovibrio; Deferribacteraceae; Deferribacterales; Deferribacteres; Bacteria General Information: Isolation: Oil reservoir model column; Country: Norway; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water, Marine. This organism was first isolated from an oil reservoir modeling column under nitrate enrichment and reduces nitrate to ammonia. Stimulating the growth of nitrate-reducing bacterium in an oil well may prevent the growth of sulfate-reducing bacterium which cause reservoir souring by the production of H2S.

General Information: This Clostridium (HF strain, ATCC 12662) was initially found associated with Methanococcus vannieli in formate-enriched cultures. After its isolation in pure culture, it was shown that this organism is capable of fermenting amino acids. Biochemical studies have shown that C. sticklandii obtains energy for growth from oxidation-reduction reactions between specific amino acid pairs. Clostridium sticklandii is a Gram-positive bacterium with low (G +C) content that is capable of fermenting amino acids.
