Thermodesulfobiaceae

Thermodesulfobiaceae
Scientific classification
Domain:	Bacteria
Phylum:	"Thermodesulfobiota"
Class:	"Thermodesulfobiia"
Order:	"Thermodesulfobiales"
Family:	Thermodesulfobiaceae Mori et al. 2004
Genera
Thermodesulfobium

The family Thermodesulfobiaceae according to the LPSN is located within the order Thermoanaerobacterales and class Clostridia. However, according to the All-Species Living Tree Project it lies outside the clade Bacillota and the genus Caldanaerovirga does not belong to the clade, i.e. Thermodesulfobiaceae is polyphyletic.

Phylogeny

See also: Bacterial taxonomy

This family formerly included two genera (Thermodesulfobium and Coprothermobacter); however, the taxonomy of this family is under review because the genus Coprothermobacter was excluded from this family in March 2018, after several genomic analyses confirmed the differences between them.[1] The most recent classification updates are already reported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI),[2] even though some taxonomy considering former versions of the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN),[3] or old releases of 16S rRNA-based tree from The All-Species Living Tree Project,[4] may still include it.
