Spirochaeta is a genus of bacteria classified within the phylum Spirochaetota.
Ureaplasma is a genus of bacteria belonging to the family Mycoplasmataceae. As the name implies, Ureaplasma is urease positive.
The Spirochaetales are an order of spirochete bacteria. Some species within this order are known to causes syphilis, Lyme disease, relapsing fever, and other illnesses.
Anaeroplasmatales is an order of mollicute bacteria which are generally found in the rumens of cattle and sheep. The only family in the order is the family Anaeroplasmataceae.
Slackia is a genus of Actinomycetota, in the family Coriobacteriaceae. Slackia is named after the microbiologist Geoffrey Slack.
Rubrobacter is a genus of Actinomycetota. It is radiotolerant and may rival Deinococcus radiodurans in this regard.
The Thermoactinomycetaceae are a family of Gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria.
The Erysipelotrichaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria.
The Halanaerobiales are an order of bacteria placed within the class Clostridia, and encompassing two families, the Halanaerobiaceae and the Halobacteroidaceae. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside the Bacillota. Halanaerobiales are halophilic obligate anaerobes with a fermentative or homoacetogenic metabolism.
Caldicellulosiruptor is a genus of thermophilic, anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, order Thermoanaerobacterales and family Thermoanaerobacterales Family III according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside of the Bacillota. Caldicellulosiruptor is known to degrade and ferment complex carbohydrates from plant matter, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, and certain species in the genus have been identified as potential candidates for biofuel production.
Pectinatus is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.
Megamonas is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.
Dialister is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.
The Solirubrobacterales are an order of Actinomycetota.
The Erysipelotrichia are a class of bacteria of the phylum Bacillota. Species of this class are known to be common in the gut microbiome, as they have been isolated from swine manure and increase in composition of the mouse gut microbiome for mice switched to diets high in fat.
Syntrophomonas is a bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophomonadaceae.
The Coprobacillaceae are a family of Bacillota.
Halanaerobaculum is a haloanaerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Halobacteroidaceae.
Euzebya is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria.
Tepidanaerobacteraceae is a family of Gram positive bacteria in the class Clostridia.
