Desulfovibrio magneticus is an anaerobic, Gram-negative, sulfate-reducing bacteria originally sourced from freshwater sediments in Wakayama, Japan but have also been found in the deep sea, indicating their ability to thrive in aquatic environments[1]. D. magneticus are classified as magnetotactic bacteria with the ability to produce magnetite particles[1].
