  abstract = {{G}ram-positive spore-forming sulfate reducers and particularly members of the genus {D}esulfotomaculum are commonly found in the subsurface biosphere by culture based and molecular approaches. {D}ue to their metabolic versatility and their ability to persist as endospores. {D}esulfotomaculum spp. are well-adapted for colonizing environments through a slow sedimentation process. {B}ecause of their ability to grow autotrophically ({H}-2/{CO}2) and produce sulfide or acetate, these microorganisms may play key roles in deep lithoautotrophic microbial communities. {A}vailable data about {D}esulfotomaculum spp. and related species from studies carried out from deep freshwater lakes, marine sediments, oligotrophic and organic rich deep geological settings are discussed in this review.},
