The Desulfuromonadia are a class of anaerobic bacteria within the phylum Desulfobacterota. Their cells are curved or rod shaped and often motile. They display chemoorganotrophic, chemolithoautotrophic, or chemolithoheterotrophic growth by respiratory or fermentative metabolism. Several members can use sulfur or ferric iron as electron acceptors.[3]
