Nitratidesulfovibrio vulgaris (formerly Desulfovibrio vulgaris) is a species of Gram-negative sulfate-reducing bacteria in the Desulfovibrionaceae family.[1] It is also an anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium that is an important organism involved in the bioremediation of heavy metals in the environment.[2] Nitratidesulfovibrio vulgaris is often used as a model organism for sulfur-reducing bacteria[3] and was the first of such bacteria to have its genome sequenced.[4] It is ubiquitous in nature and has also been implicated in a variety of human bacterial infections, although it may only be an opportunistic pathogen.[5] This microbe also has the ability to endure high salinity environments, which is done through the utilization of osmoprotectants and efflux systems.[6]
