Lineage: Bacteria[3914]; Proteobacteria[1644]; Deltaproteobacteria[105]; Desulfuromonadales[11]; Geobacteraceae[7]; Geobacter[6]; Geobacter sulfurreducens[1]Geobacter sulfurreducens. This organism, similar to what is observed in Geobacter metallireducens, is one of the predominant metal-reducing bacteria found in subsurface communities. It is capable of oxidizing organic compounds and coupling that to reduction of metals. [Source: NCBI Genome ]
