Oxalophagus is a genus of bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes. [1] Up to now, only one species of this genus is known, Oxalophagus oxalicus [2]
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.
The Aquificae phylum is a diverse collection of bacteria that live in harsh environmental settings. The name 'Aquificae' was given to this phylum based on an early genus identified within this group, Aquifex, which is able to produce water by oxidizing hydrogen. They have been found in springs, pools, and oceans. They are autotrophs, and are the primary carbon fixers in their environments. These bacteria are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods. They are true bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea.
The Aurantimonadaceae are a small family of marine bacteria. Six species are known. Aurantimonas coralicida causes a white plague in corals. Fulvimarina pelagi was isolated from seawater, and takes the form of nonmotile rods.
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 acids are not utilized as energy sources.
Thermoanaerobacter is a genus in the phylum Firmicutes (Bacteria). Members of this genus are thermophilic and anaerobic, several of them were previously described as Clostridium species and members of the now obsolete genera Acetogenium and Thermobacteroides
Actinopolyspora is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria (Bacteria).
Thermoanaerobacter kivui is a thermophilic, anaerobic, non-spore-forming species of bacteria.
Caloramator fervidus, previously known as Clostridium fervidus, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Caloramator, is a genus of bacteriae belonging to the Firmicutes.
Filifactor villosus, previously known as Clostridium villosum, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Filifactor, is a genus of bacteriae belonging to the Firmicutes.
Moorella thermoacetica, previously known as Clostridium thermoaceticum, is an acetogenic, thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, endospore-forming, bacterium belonging to the phylum Firmicutes.
Moorella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes.
Moorella thermoautotrophica, previously known as Clostridium thermoautotrophicum, is a rod-shaped, endospore-forming bacterium belonging to the phylum Firmicutes. It is thermophilic, strictly anaerobic and acetogenic, and was isolated from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park USA.
Oxobacter pfennigii, previously known as Clostridium pfennigii, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Oxalophagus oxalicus, previously known as Clostridium oxalicus, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Eubacterium barkeri, previously known as Clostridium barkeri, is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Paenibacillus durus, previously known as Clostridium durum and Paenibacillus azotofixans, is a bacterial species belonging to the Firmicutes.
Thermoanaerobacter thermocopriae, previously known as Clostridium thermocopriae is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum, previously known as Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum is a bacterium belonging to the Firmicutes.
