Geodermatophilus obscurus Luedemann 1968 is the type species of the genus, which is the type genus of the family Geodermatophilaceae. G. obscurus is of interest as it has frequently been isolated from stressful environments such as rock varnish in deserts, and as it exhibits interesting phenotypes such as lytic capability of yeast cell walls, UV-C resistance, strong production of extracellular functional amyloid (FuBA) and manganese oxidation. This is the first completed genome sequence of the family Geodermatophilaceae. The 5,322,497 bp long genome with its 5,161 protein-coding and 58 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
暗褐嗜皮菌（Geodermatophilus obscurus）是吕德曼于1968年命名的该属模式种，而该属是嗜皮菌科的模式属。暗褐嗜皮菌备受关注，因为它经常从诸如沙漠中的岩石漆等恶劣环境中分离得到，并且表现出一些有趣的表型，如具有溶解酵母细胞壁的能力、抗UV-C、大量产生细胞外功能性淀粉样蛋白（FuBA）以及锰氧化能力。这是嗜皮菌科首个完成测序的基因组序列。这个长度为5,322,497 bp的基因组，包含5,161个蛋白质编码基因和58个RNA基因，是细菌和古菌基因组百科全书计划的一部分。
