Desulfonatronum thiodismutans strain:MLF1 Genome sequencing. Desulfonatronum thiodismutans strain:MLF1

Desulfonatronum thiodismutans is an anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from Mono Lake, California. This species grows chemolithoautotrophically or chemolithoheterotrophically on hydrogen gas. It appears to possess a high affinity to molecular hydrogen and in natural ecosystems it is found in tight symbiotic relations with primary anaerobes (e.g., saccharolytic spirochetes) that produce hydrogen as a product of fermentation.
