Nitrate and nitrite are reduced to ammonium. Perchloroethylene is reduced to cis-
dichloroethene. Selenate is reduced, via selenite, to elemental selenium. Hydrogen,
formate, pyruvate and lactate serve as electron donors. Hydrogen and formate serve
as electron donors only when acetate is present as carbon source. Can grow
fermentatively on fumarate and pyruvate.
