1. Sulfate Reduction:

   • Desulfovibrionaceae are known for their ability to carry out sulfate reduction, a metabolic process in which they use sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor during anaerobic respiration. This process is significant in the sulfur cycle and contributes to the transformation of sulfur compounds in various environments.

2. Intestinal Health:

   • Desulfovibrionaceae, along with other sulfate-reducing bacteria, are present in the human gut microbiota. The balance of these bacteria is essential for maintaining intestinal health. In certain conditions, an overgrowth of sulfate-reducing bacteria, including Desulfovibrionaceae, may be associated with intestinal disorders or inflammatory conditions.

3. Hydrogen Sulfide Production:

   • Sulfate-reducing bacteria like Desulfovibrionaceae can produce hydrogen sulfide as a metabolic byproduct. While hydrogen sulfide is essential for the microbial community's function, excessive production can have negative effects. High levels of hydrogen sulfide in the gut may be associated with symptoms such as flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and changes in bowel habits.

4. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):

   • Some studies have investigated the potential association between sulfate-reducing bacteria, including Desulfovibrionaceae, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The role of these bacteria in IBD is complex, and research is ongoing to understand their specific contributions to disease pathogenesis.

5. Periodontal Health:

   • Desulfovibrionaceae, particularly sulfate-reducing bacteria, may be present in the oral cavity and contribute to the sulfur cycle in dental plaque. While they are part of the normal oral microbiota, an imbalance in the oral flora can contribute to periodontal disease.

Legend

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
