Syntrophomonas sapovorans is a bacterium. It is anaerobic, syntrophic, and fatty acid-oxidizing and obligately proton-reducing. Its type strain is OM.[1] It has a doubling time of 40 hours.[2] It is part of the family Syntrophomonadaceae based on comparative small-subunit (SSU) rRNA sequence analysis.[2] This family currently contains three genera, Syntrophomonas, Syntrophospora, and Thermosyntropha, as well as two closely related isolates, strains FSM2 and FSS7.[2]
