Desulfomicrobium escambiense, Desulfomicrobium baculatum, Desulfomicrobium apsheronum, and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway 4 are closely related as determined by a 16S rRNA comparison (levels of relatedness, 0.976 to 0.997) and are distinct on the basis of levels of DNA-DNA similarity (11.1 to 27.4%), genomic restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns, and certain phenotypic characteristics. We proposed that Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Norway 4 be renamed Desulfomicrobium norvegicum comb. nov.
