'''''Fusibacter''''' is a genus of bacteria within the phylum Bacillota. Species are most well known from technical environments, ''Fusibacter fontis'' being the first described species of this genus isolated from a natural environment. The reported members of this genus are fermentative and halotolerant anaerobes. Moreover, these species share sulfur-reducing features capable of generating sulfide starting from elemental sulfur or thiosulfate sources.
The first draft genome of a strain of ''Fusibacter'' recovered from a saline environment in Northern Chile has been reported.<ref>{{CC-notice|cc=by4|url=https://environmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40793-017-0252-4}} {{cite journal|last1=Serrano|first1=Antonio E.|last2=Escudero|first2=Lorena V.|last3=Tebes-Cayo|first3=Cinthya|last4=Acosta|first4=Mauricio|last5=Encalada|first5=Olga|last6=Fernández-Moroso Sebastián|first6=Demergasso|last7=Cecilia|name-list-style=amp |date=24 July 2017|title=First draft genome sequence of a strain from the genus ''Fusibacter'' isolated from Salar de Ascotán in Northern Chile|journal=Standards in Genomic Sciences|volume=12|issue=43|page=43|doi=10.1186/s40793-017-0252-4|pmid=28770028|pmc=5525254 |doi-access=free }} </ref>
