thermoanaerobacteraceae thermoanaerobacteraceae the thermoanaerobacteraceae is a highly polyphyletic family of bacteria placed within the class clostridia. originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class clostridia and order thermoanaerobacterales, according to the ncbi and lpsn, it is now thought to be a basal clade of the phylum bacillota. thermoanaerobacteraceae gelria scientific classification domain: bacteria phylum: bacillota class: clostridia order: thermoanaerobacterales family: thermoanaerobacteraceaewiegel 2010 genera ammonifex huber and stetter 1996 emend. miroshnichenko et al. 2008 brockia perevalova et al. 2013 caldanaerobacter fardeau et al. 2004 caldanaerobius lee et al. 2008 carboxydothermus svetlichny et al. 1991 emend. novikov et al. 2011 desulfovirgula kaksonen et al. 2007 gelria plugge et al. 2002 moorella collins et al. 1994 tepidanaerobacter sekiguchi et al. 2006 thermacetogenium hattori et al. 2000 thermanaeromonas mori et al. 2002 thermoanaerobacter wiegel and ljungdahl 1982 emend. lee et al. 2007 phylogeny the currently accepted taxonomy is based on the list of prokaryotic names with standing in nomenclature (lpsn) and national center for biotechnology information (ncbi)the phylogeny is based on 16s rrna-based ltp release 111 by the all-species living tree project ammonifex a. degensii huber and stetter 1996 (type sp.) a. thiophilus miroshnichenko et al. 2008 caldanaerobacter ?c. hydrothermalis ♠ kozina et al. 2007 ?c. proteolyticus ♠ kozina et al. 2007 c. uzonensis kozina et al. 2010 c. subterraneus ?c. s. subterraneus (fardeau et al. 2000) fardeau et al. 2004 (type sp.) c. subterraneus yonseiensis (kim et al. 2001) fardeau et al. 2004 c. s. pacificus (sokolova et al. 2001) fardeau et al. 2004 c. s. tengcongensis (xue et al. 2001) fardeau et al. 2004 thermoanaerobacter ?t. inferii ♠ orlygsson & beck 2007 ?t. keratinophilus ♠ riessen & antranikian 2001 ?t. indiensis ♠ bhattacharya et al. 2011 t. uzonensis wagner et al. 2008 t. sulfurigignens lee et al. 2007 t. thermocopriae (jin et al. 1988) collins et al. 1994 t. italicus kozianowski et al. 1998 t. mathranii t. m. alimentarius carlier et al. 2007 t. m. mathranii (larsen et al. 1998) carlier et al. 2007 t. pseudethanolicus onyenwoke et al. 2007 t. brockii lactiethylicus cayol et al. 1995 t. brockii t. b. brockii (zeikus et al. 1983) cayol et al. 1995 t. b. finnii (schmid et al. 1986) cayol et al. 1995 t. kivui (leigh and wolfe 1983) collins et al. 1994 t. siderophilus slobodkin et al. 1999 t. sulfurophilus bonch-osmolovskaya 1998 t. wiegelii cook et al. 1996 t. pseudethanolicus onyenwoke et al. 2007 t. thermohydrosulfuricus (klaushofer and parkkinen 1965) lee et al. 1993 t. acetoethylicus (ben-bassat and zeikus 1983) rainey and stackebrandt 1993 t. ethanolicus wiegel and ljungdahl 1982 (type sp.)
