Desulfitobacterium is a genus of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria from the family of Peptococcaceae.[https://www.uniprot.org/taxonomy/36853 UniProt]{{cite book|last1=Stanley|first1=Falkow|last2=Eugene|first2=Rosenberg|last3=Karl-Heinz|first3=Schleifer|last4=Erko|first4=Stackebrandt|title=Bacteria : Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria|date=2006|publisher=Springer|location=New York, NY|isbn=0-387-25494-3|edition=3.}} Desulfitobacterium species have low GC-contents.
