Clostridiaceae
The Clostridiaceae are a family of the bacterial class Clostridia, and contain the genus '' Clostridium''. The family Clostridiaceae (scientific name) defined by the taxonomic outline of '' Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology '' contains as its core the genus '' Clostridium'' (''sensu stricto''), as well as ''Acetivibrio'', '' Acidaminobacter'', '' Alkaliphilus'', '' Anaerobacter'', '' Caloramator'', '' Caloranaerobacter'', '' Coprobacillus'', '' Dorea'', '' Natronincola'', '' Oxobacter'', ''Sarcina'', '' Sporobacter'', '' Thermobrachium'', '' Thermohalobacter'', and '' Tindallia''. The previous inclusion of these additional genera (as seen on the right) in a family Clostridiaceae is based for the most part because the type species of these genera are in many cases phylogenetically related to misclassified species of the genus ''Clostridium''. However, with the exception of ''Anaerobacter'', ''Caloramator'', ''Oxobacter'', ''Sarcina'', and ''Thermobrachium'', these genera ...

Sarcina (genus)
''Sarcina'' is a genus of Gram-positive cocci bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. A synthesizer of microbial cellulose, various members of the genus are human flora and may be found in the skin and large intestine. The genus takes its name from the Latin word " sarcina," meaning pack or bundle, after the cuboidal (2x2x2) cellular associations they form during division along three planes. The genus's type species is '' Sarcina ventriculi'', a variety found on the surface of cereal seeds, in soil, mud, and in the stomachs of humans, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Species * '' Sarcina aurantiaca'' * '' Sarcina maxima'' has been reclassified to '' Clostridium maximum'' * '' Sarcina ventriculi, also known as Clostridium ventriculi'' * '' Sarcina lutea'' has been reclassified to '' Micrococcus luteus'' * '' Sarcina troglodytae'' is a chimpanzee pathogen In biology, a pathogen ( el, πάθος, "suffering", "passion" and , "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is an ...

Thermohalobacter
''Thermohalobacter'' is a Gram-negative, thermophilic, strictly halophilic, non- spore-forming anaerobic, rod-shaped and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Clostridiaceae with one known species ('' Thermohalobacter berrensis'').

Salterns include modern salt-making works (saltworks), as well as hypersaline waters that usually contain high concentrations of halophilic microorganisms, primarily haloarchaea but also othe ....

Anaeromicrobium
''Anaeromicrobium'' is an anaerobic, mesophilic and heterotrophic bacterial genus from the family of Clostridiaceae, with one known species ( Anaeromicrobium sediminis). ''Anaeromicrobium sediminis'' has been isolated from deep-sea sediments from the West Pacific Ocean The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest of Earth's five oceanic divisions. It extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, to Antarctica) in the south, and is bounded by the contin ....

Oxobacter
''Oxobacter'' is a genus of Gram-positive obligately anaerobic rod-shaped acetogenic bacteria. The sole species in the genus is ''Oxobacter pfennigii'', formerly known as ''Clostridium pfennigii''. This endospore-forming microorganism catabolizes pyruvate to acetate and CO2, while sugars and amino acid Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. Although hundreds of amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the alpha-amino acids, which comprise proteins. Only 22 alpha ...s are not utilized as energy sources.

Anaerobacter
''Anaerobacter'' is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria related to ''Clostridium''. They are anaerobic chemotroph A Chemotroph is an organism that obtains energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. These molecules can be organic ( chemoorganotrophs) or inorganic (chemolithotrophs). The chemotroph designation is in contrast to phototro ...s and are unusual spore-formers as they produce more than one spore per bacterial cell (up to five). They fix nitrogen. Their G+C content is 29%. Only one species of this genus (''Anaerobacter polyendosporus'') has been described.

Acidaminobacter
''Acidaminobacter'' is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria). Etymology The name ''Acidaminobacter'' derives from New Latin ''acidum aminum'', amino acid, a rod'' bacter'', nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, a staff or rod; resulting in ''Acidaminobacter'', the amino acid rod bacterium. Species The genus contains a single species, ''Acidaminobacter hydrogenoformans'' (Stams and Hansen 1985, type species of the genus). The specific name is based on New Latin ''hydrogenum'' (from Greek ''húdōr'' (ὕδωρ), water; and ''gennaō'' (γεννάω), to produce) hydrogen (that which produces water, so called because it forms water when exposed to oxygen); Latin ''formans'', forming, giving hydrogen-forming.) See also * Bacterial taxonomy Bacterial taxonomy is the taxonomy, i.e. the rank-based classification, of bacteria. In the scientific classification established by Carl Linnaeus, each species has to be assigned to a genus ( binary nomenc ...
