Type strain
1pr3T (DSM 2032, ATCC 33891, VKM B-1956)[1]

Desulfobulbus propionicus is a Gram-negative, anaerobic chemoorganotroph.[1][2] Three separate strains have been identified: 1pr3T, 2pr4, and 3pr10.[2] It is also the first pure culture example of successful disproportionation of elemental sulfur to sulfate and sulfide.[3] Desulfobulbus propionicus has the potential to produce free energy (in the form of electrons) and chemical products.[4]
