Thermoanaerobacter is a genus in the phylum Bacillota (Bacteria).[1] Members of this genus are thermophilic and anaerobic, several of them were previously described as Clostridium species and members of the now obsolete genera Acetogenium and Thermobacteroides[2][3]

Etymology

edit

The name Thermoanaerobacter derives from:
Greek adjective thermos (θερμός), hot; Greek prefix an (ἄν), not; Greek noun aer, aeros (ἀήρ, ἀέρος), air; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun, bacter, nominally meaning "a rod", but in effect meaning a bacterium, rod; Neo-Latin masculine gender noun Thermoanaerobacter, rod which grows in the absence of air at elevated temperatures.[4]

Species

edit

The genus contains 15 species, namely[4]

Three former members of this genus, T. subterraneus, T. tengcongensis and T. yonseiensis, were reclassified as subspecies of Caldanaerobacter subterraneus[19]

Phylogeny
