Bacilli Class of bacteria in the phylum Firmicutes

Bacilli is a taxonomic class of bacteria that includes two orders, Bacillales and Lactobacillales, which contain several well-known pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis. Bacilli are almost exclusively gram-positive bacteria.

Chrysiogenaceae is a family of bacteria.

Hyphomicrobiaceae Family of bacteria

The Hyphomicrobiaceae are a family of bacteria. Among others, they include Rhodomicrobium, a genus of purple bacteria.

Rhodobium is a genus of purple non-sulfur bacteria. The cells are rod-shaped and reproduce by budding, as in many other members of the Hyphomicrobiales. RNA trees separate it from the others, however, and it is given its own family. R. orientis, the type species, was isolated from seawater in 1995. It is capable of photosynthetic hydrogen production via the nitrogenase enzyme.

Thermithiobacillus is a genus of nonsporeforming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria. The name derives from the Latin thermae, for warm baths, and the Classical Greek θείος, theios for sulfur. The type species of this genus was previously assigned to the genus Thiobacillus, but it was reclassified on the basis of 16S rRNA analysis in 2000, creating this genus.

<i>Cupriavidus</i> Genus of bacteria

Cupriavidus is a genus of bacteria that includes the former genus Wautersia. They are characterized as Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped organisms with oxidative metabolism. They possess peritrichous flagella, are obligate aerobic organisms, and are chemoorganotrophic or chemolithotrophic. Resistance to metals has been described. These organisms have been found in both soil and in clinical isolates.

Actinocatenispora is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).

Adlercreutzia is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).

Armatimonadota is a phylum of gram-negative bacteria.

Dickeya is a genus of the family Pectobacteriaceae that consists mainly of pathogens from herbaceous plants. Dickeya is the result of the reclassification of 75 strains of Pectobacterium chrysanthemi, as well as Brenneria paradisiaca CFBP 4178, into a new genus. The genus is named for American phytopathologist Robert S. Dickey. Several species in this genus, such as Dickeya dadantii, are known phytopathogens.

Klossiella is a genus of parasitic alveolates of the phylum Apicomplexa. Species in this genus infect the renal tract of mammals and intestinal tract of snakes.

Virgibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive, rod-shaped (bacillus) bacteria and a member of the phylum Firmicutes. Virgibacillus species can be obligate aerobes, or facultative anaerobes and catalase enzyme positive. Under stressful environmental conditions, the bacteria can produce oval or ellipsoidal endospores in terminal, or sometimes subterminal, swollen sporangia. The genus was recently reclassified from the genus Bacillus in 1998 following an analysis of the species V. pantothenticus. Subsequently, a number of new species have been discovered or reclassified as Virgibacillus species.

Phyllobacterium is a genus of Gram-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, aerobic bacteria.

Ehrlichia muris is a species of pathogenic bacteria first isolated from mice, with type strain AS145T. Its genome has been sequenced.

Vagococcus is a genus of gram-positive bacteria. They are motile or nonmotile cocci which do not form spores. The name Vagococcus comes from Latin adjective vagus meaning wandering; and the Greek noun coccus a grain or berry, Vagococcus - wandering coccus, because Vagococcus fluvialis and some other Vagococcus species are motile, an unusual property for a lactic acid bacteria.

Acetatifactor muris is a bacterium from the genus of Acetatifactor which was isolated from the cecal content of an obese mouse in Freising-Weihenstephan in Germany. The organism is rod-shaped, Gram-positive, anaerobic, and non-motile. The organism does not form spores, and its GC-content is 48%. It does not metabolize glucose, and it tests positive for phenylalanine arylamidase. This species is the type strain for the genus Acetatifactor, which is commonly found in the guts of rodents. The DSM type strain is 23669T, and the ATCC type strain is BAA-2170T.

Turicimonas is a genus of bacteria from the family of Sutterellaceae with one known species. Turicimonas muris has been isolated from the caecal content of a mouse.

Acutalibacter is a genus of bacteria from the family of Ruminococcaceae with one known species. Acutalibacter muris has been isolated from the feces of a mouse from Munich in Germany.

Muribacter is a genus of bacteria from the class of Pasteurellaceae with one known species. Muribacter muris has been isolated from a mouse.

Nitrospinota is a bacterial phylum. Despite only few described species, members of this phylum are major nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in surface waters in oceans. By oxidation of nitrite to nitrate they are important in the process of nitrification in marine environments.
