Bilophila wadsworthia is a Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic, sulfite-reducing bacterium that has emerged as a key pathobiont linking high-fat diets, taurine metabolism, hydrogen sulfide production, and inflammatory disease. Its unique metabolic niche -- using taurine-c…
A genus of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) that produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as its primary metabolic end-product. H2S is a potent cytotoxin that disrupts colonocyte energy metabolism, damages the gut barrier, and promotes chronic i…
An order of Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) within the class Deltaproteobacteria. The defining metabolic feature of Desulfovibrionales is dissimilatory sulfate reduction -- using sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor and producing hyd…
