Sporomusa is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes. ^{[1] [2]}

Further examination of members of this clade suggest that this group are actually members of the Clostridia . ^[3]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[2]
