Coprothermobacterales

Coprothermobacteria is a taxonomic class of bacteria in the phylum Coprothermobacterota.[1]

Currently, this class is represented by a single order of bacteria, with only one family to which belongs a genus (Coprothermobacter) of non-motile, rod-shaped microorganisms that stain Gram-negative, are non-spore-forming, strictly anaerobic, thermophilic and chemoautotroph.[2]
