| Growth Parameters | Desulfomonile tiedjei |
| PHYSIOLOGICAL |
| Tropism | Chemoorganotrophic |
| Oxygen | Strictly anaerobic, having both a respiratory and a fermentative type of metabolism |
| pH | optimum pH 6.8-7.0 |
| Temperature | Optimum temperature, 37 oC |
| Requirements | Best growth occurs on pyruvate but hydrogen gas, formate or benzoate are also utilized. Vitamins are required, 1,4naphthoquinone is a growth factor, poor growth on lactate, acetate or butyrate |
| Products | sulfate , sulfite and thiosulfate are reduced to hydrogen sulfide |
| Enzymes | |
| Unique features | Dessulfoviridin is present |
