Species code:	DESPS
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Desulfobacterales; Desulfobulbaceae; Desulfotalea (TaxID: 84980) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Desulfotalea psychrophila is a marine Gram-negative sulfate-reducing bacterium. It was isolated from permanently cold Arctic sediments off the coast of Svalbard. Its optimal growth temperature is 10 degrees Celsius but it is also able to grow at temperatures as low as -1.8 degrees Celsius. Psychrophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria are assumed to contribute significantly to the carbon and sulfur cycles.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of DESPS entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3233 (297 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2936 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
