Pelobacter acidigallici Scientific classification Kingdom: Bacteria Phylum: Proteobacteria Class: Delta Proteobacteria Order: Desulfuromonadales Family: Pelobacteraceae Genus: Pelobacter Species: P. acidigallici Binomial name Pelobacter acidigallici
Schink and Pfennig, 1983Pelobacter acidigallici is the type species in the bacteria genus Pelobacter.
P. acidigallici is able to degrade trihydroxybenzenes[1]. The enzyme pyrogallol hydroxytransferase uses 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (pyrogallol), whereas its two products are 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene (phloroglucinol) and 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene. This enzyme can be found in P. acidigallici[2].
