Desulfovibrio vulgaris is a Gram-negative, non-spore forming, curved rod-shaped bacteria, that can be found in soil, animal intestines and feces, fresh water, and salt water [1]. Desulfovibrio vulgaris is usually considered a strict anaerobe, although it may be able to grow at low oxygen levels [2]. Desulfovibrio vulgaris is often used as a model compound for sulfur-reducing bacteria [3].
