Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB): Some Deltaproteobacteria are sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), which are known for their ability to use sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration. While sulfate reduction is essential for certain environmental processes, excessive production of hydrogen sulfide by SRB can have negative effects, as hydrogen sulfide is toxic and can contribute to the characteristic "rotten egg" smell.
Environmental Roles: Many Deltaproteobacteria are found in diverse environments, including aquatic systems, sediments, and soils. They play critical roles in various biogeochemical cycles, such as sulfur and carbon cycling.
Anaerobic Respiration: Some Deltaproteobacteria are involved in anaerobic respiration processes, contributing to the decomposition of organic matter in anaerobic environments. This can impact nutrient cycling and overall ecosystem health.
Potential Pathogens: While many Deltaproteobacteria are harmless and have beneficial ecological roles, some members of this class can be opportunistic pathogens. For example, certain Desulfovibrio species, which belong to Deltaproteobacteria, have been associated with infections in humans.
Bioremediation: Some Deltaproteobacteria are studied for their bioremediation capabilities. They can play a role in the removal or transformation of environmental pollutants, contributing to the cleanup of contaminated sites.
Hydrocarbon Degradation: Some Deltaproteobacteria have the ability to degrade hydrocarbons, making them important in the context of environmental bioremediation, especially in areas impacted by oil spills.
Influence on Human Health: While some Deltaproteobacteria can be opportunistic pathogens, their overall impact on human health is not as extensively studied as certain other bacterial classes. The focus of research on Deltaproteobacteria often revolves around their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
