1. Sulfate Reduction:

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

2. Environmental Impact:

   • Desulfovibrionales are commonly found in anaerobic environments, such as sediments, soils, and the digestive tracts of animals. They contribute to the breakdown of organic matter and the cycling of sulfur in these environments.

3. Corrosion and Biocorrosion:

   • In industrial settings, Desulfovibrionales have been implicated in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) or biocorrosion. These bacteria can produce hydrogen sulfide during sulfate reduction, which, in the presence of water, can lead to the formation of corrosive sulfuric acid. This can be a concern in industries where metal structures or pipelines are exposed to sulfate-containing environments.

4. Bioremediation:

   • Some species of Desulfovibrionales have been studied for their potential use in bioremediation efforts. They can participate in the removal of heavy metals and sulfate from contaminated environments through their metabolic activities.

5. Anaerobic Digestion:

   • Desulfovibrionales are part of the microbial communities involved in anaerobic digestion processes. They contribute to the breakdown of organic matter in anaerobic conditions, playing a role in the production of biogas (methane) in anaerobic digesters.

• 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
