Coprothermobacter

Coprothermobacteraceae is a bacterial family of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the order Coprothermobacterales, class Coprothermobacteria of the phylum Coprothermobacterota. [1] [2]

The name of this family was given on the basis of an early genus identified within this group, dubbed " Coprothermobacter ", whose etymology derives from Greek "kopros", meaning manure, and "thermos", warm, from the source where these bacteria were collected and the temperature conditions in which they are able to grow, which can be up to 75°C. [3]

This taxonomic family has been introduced in 2018, after a phylogenetic reclassification of the genus Coprothermobacter , which has been based on published studies that shown that these bacteria actually represent a deeply branched taxon of the domain Bacteria. [1] Consequently, the clade including this genus has been classified in the phylum Coprothermobacterota, a separate phylum from Firmicute, where Coprothermobacter was formerly included before the reclassification. Actually, Coprothermobacteraceae is the only family belonging to the order Coprothermobacterales. [4]

Pseudomonadota is a major phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The renaming of several prokaryote phyla in 2021, including Pseudomonadota, remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier name Proteobacteria, of long standing in the literature. The phylum Proteobacteria includes a wide variety of pathogenic genera, such as Escherichia, Salmonella, Vibrio, Yersinia, Legionella, and many others. Others are free-living (non-parasitic) and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation.

Coprothermobacter is a genus of rod-shaped microorganisms, belonging to the bacterial family Coprothermobacteraceae of the phylum Coprothermobacterota. This taxonomic genus has been reclassified in 2018, after different phylogenetic studies showed that these bacteria represented a deeply branched taxon of the domain Bacteria; consequently, the clade including this genus has been classified in a separate phylum from Firmicutes, the phylum where it was included before reclassification.
