Taken into account the absence of direct contacts of the city buildings with groundwater and low winter temperatures, the role of nonsporeforming and sporeforming but thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria (genus Desulfotomaculum
) in destruction of houses is minimal.
Different sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) have reported for the degradation of various hydrocarbons, such as Desulfosporosinus meridiei (Robertson et al., 2001), Desulfovibrio carbonoliphilus (Allen et al., 2008), Desulfotomaculum
sp., Desulfomicrobium sp., Desulfobacter sp.

Degradation of o-xylene and m-xylene by a novel sulphate-reducer belonging to the genus Desulfotomaculum
The mtmB gene represents an intermediary case, with a few Pyl-containing bacteria possessing it, leading either to a MT with Pyl (Acetohalobium arabaticum, Desulfotomaculum
acetoxidans) or not (Bilophila wadsworthia) 25].

This type of spoilage is associated with anaerobic sulphide-reducing spore forming bacteria such as the themophilic Desulfotomaculum
nigrificans and also the mesophilic Clostridium sporogenes.
