Desulfobulbus oligotrophicus Prop6 is a sulfate-reducing, propionate-oxidizing bacterium from sewage sludge. They can thrive in anaerobic environments and some species are capable of producing the neurotoxin methylmercury.
Desulfobulbus oligotrophicus Prop6 is a sulfate-reducing, propionate-oxidizing Deltabacterota (formerly Deltaproteobacteria) strain from sewage sludge. Desulfobulbus species are found in anoxic environments, in animal microbiota, and some produce the neurotoxin methylmercury. The 3.1-Mbp D. oligotrophicus genome sequence enables studies of diverse environmental adaptations and the evolutionary genomics of mercury methylation mechanisms.
