Anaerobacter is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria related to Clostridium . They are anaerobic chemotrophs and are unusual spore-formers as they produce more than one spore per bacterial cell (up to five). [2] They fix nitrogen. Their G+C content is 29%. [3] Only one species of this genus (Anaerobacter polyendosporus) has been described. [1]
