sulfurreducens
Sulfurreducens is a genus of obligately anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria. These microorganisms are characterized by their ability to respire by reducing sulfate to sulfide, a process that yields energy for their growth. They are found in a variety of anoxic environments, including marine sediments, freshwater sediments, and subsurface environments. Sulfurreducens species play a significant role in the global sulfur cycle by mediating the conversion of organic and inorganic sulfur compounds.
The genus Sulfurreducens was first described in 2003, with the type species *Sulfurreducens cadaveris*. Members of
