Summary Introduction
The family Geobacteraceae comes under the order Desulfuromonadales of deltaproteobacteria. Geobacter is a genus of Geobacteraceae family. They are gram-negative bacteria capable to conserve energy from the dissimilatory metal reduction. They are strict anaerobes and they are used in the bioremediation process.
