Thauera

Thauera is a type of bacteria known for its ability to break down complex organic compounds, especially in environments like wastewater treatment plants. It plays a crucial role in degrading pollutants, including aromatic compounds and certain pollutants, helping to clean water by transforming harmful substances into less harmful or harmless products. Thauera bacteria thrive in oxygen-rich or oxygen-limited conditions and contribute significantly to natural and engineered processes that remove toxins from the environment, supporting ecological health and water safety.
