Sarcina ventriculi is a bacterial species in the Clostridiaceae family. Phylogenetics have placed S. ventriculi and Sarcina maxima within the genus Clostridium . [2] It has been proposed to be renamed to Clostridium ventriculi in 2016, [3] but ultimately retained its name due to the genus name of Sarcina taking priority over Clostridium. [1] [4]

<i>Sarcina</i> (bacterium) Genus of bacteria

Sarcina is a genus of Gram-positive cocci bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. A synthesizer of microbial cellulose, various members of the genus are human flora and may be found in the skin and large intestine. The genus takes its name from the Latin word "sarcina," meaning pack or bundle, after the cuboidal (2x2x2) cellular associations they form during division along three planes.
