Anaerobacter polyendosporus [1] |
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]
Escherichia is a genus of Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria from the family Enterobacteriaceae. In those species which are inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals, Escherichia species provide a portion of the microbially derived vitamin K for their host. A number of the species of Escherichia are pathogenic. The genus is named after Theodor Escherich, the discoverer of Escherichia coli. Physiologically, it is a facultative aerobe, meaning that it can grow happily with or without oxygen, but it cannot grow at extremes of temperature or pH nor can it degrade dangerous pollutants, photosynthesize, or do a variety of other things that interest microbiologists.
Eggerthella is a bacterial genus of Actinobacteria, in the family Coriobacteriaceae. Members of this genus are anaerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile, Gram-positive bacilli that grow singly, as pairs, or in short chains. They are found in the human colon and feces and have been implicated as a cause of ulcerative colitis, liver and anal abscesses and systemic bacteremia.
Actinobacillus is a genus of Gram-negative, nonmotile and non-spore-forming, oval to rod-shaped bacteria occurring as parasites or pathogens in mammals, birds, and reptiles. It is a member of the Pasteurellaceae family. The bacteria are facultatively anaerobic or aerobic, capable of fermenting carbohydrates, and of reducing nitrates. The genomic DNA contains between 40 and 47 mol % guanine plus cytosine.
Porphyromonas is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, obligately anaerobic and non-motile genus from the family of Porphyromonadaceae. This genus has been found to be part of the salivary microbiome. The use of targeted 16S rRNA gene metagenomic sequencing has shown that the genus is well represented in healthy individuals from the Human Microbiome Project.
Propionivibrio dicarboxylicus is a gram negative, strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Propionivibrio which was isolated from anaerobic mud from the Lake Kasumigaura in Japan.
Thermoanaerobacter siderophilus is a dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing, anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium that was firstly isolated from the sediment of a hydrothermal vent found near the Karymsky volcano, in the Kamchatka peninsula, Russia. It is spore-forming, with type strain SR4T.
Cryptobacterium curtum is a Gram-positive anaerobic rod bacteria isolated from human mouths.
Desulfitobacterium is a genus of Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria from the family of Peptococcaceae. Desulfitobacterium species have low GC-contents.
Tessaracoccus is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Propionibacteriaceae.
Clostridium aciditolerans is an anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from wetland sediments from Aiken in the United States.
Clostridium aldrichii is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, mesophilic, spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Clostridium.
Clostridium algoriphilum is a psychrophilic, Gram-positive, strict anaerobic, spore-forming and motile bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from an over-cooled brine from the permafrost in Kolyma Lowland in Russia.
Clostridium amazonense is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from human feces in Nuevo Eden in Peru.
Clostridium chartatabidum is a strictly anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from an ovine rumen in New Zealand.
Clostridium ganghwense is a Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped, spore-forming, halophilic and motile bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from tidal flat from the Ganghwa Island in Korea.
Clostridium grantii is a Gram-positive, strictly anaerobic, rod-shaped and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from the gut of a mullet.
Clostridium huakuii is a Gram-positive, acetogenic, obligately anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium.
Caminicella is a Gram-negative, anaerobic, thermophilic, heterotrophic, spore-forming, rod-shaped and motile bacterial genus from the family of Clostridiaceae with one known species.
Clostridium lundense is a lipolytic, strictly anaerobic, mesophilic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from fluid of a cow rumen in Lund in Sweden.
Clostridium methoxybenzovorans is a strictly anaerobic and spore-forming bacterium from the genus of Clostridium which has been isolated from olive mill wastewater from Sfax in Tunisia.
