Terrisporobacter is a genus of Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria in the family Peptostreptococcaceae. Members of this genus were once classified as Clostridium until phylogenetic data revealed it should be a distinct genus. ^[2]

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) ^[4]
