The Syntrophomonadaceae are a family of anaerobic bacteria in the class Clostridia. ^{[1] [2] [4]} As a source of energy, these organisms use carboxylic acids. ^[4]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[5]
