This species is the nomenclatural type for the genus Duberdicusella. Estimated genome size for this species ranges between 1.3 to 1.8 Mb. GC content for this species is 34.9-35.9 %. No large ORFs are predicted for members of this species. Genes associated mainly with an acetogenic metabolic scheme, along with an Rnf complex, and respiratory complex V (F-type ATPase) are encoded by the genomes of the species. A conductive pilin, a membrane-bound Group 4g [NiFe] and cytoplasmic Group A3 [FeFe] hydrogenases, and all components for the tight-adherence complex (Tad) and Type-4a pili are encoded by the genomes. Additionally, a "symbiotic" F-type ATPase is also encoded by the genomes. All assemblies assigned to this species originated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent sediment samples from Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California, Mexico, with some derived from samples with a reported temperature of 28 °C. The type for the species is the genome GCA_003644525.1.
