SAMN03754342 Candidatus Desulfosporosinus acididurans M1 Desulfosporosinus acididurans Strain M1T (=DSM 27692T = JCM 19471 T), which was put forward as type strain for the proposed novel species Desulfosporosinus acididurans, was isolated from acidic sediment of White river in Montserrat just before the cataclysmic volcano eruption in 1995. It is a moderate acidophile exhibiting metabolic flexibility which includes the dissimilatory reduction of sulfate.
