    Abstract Oceanirhabdus (O.ce.a.ni.rhab'dus. L. masc. n. oceanus ocean; Gr. fem. n. rhabdos rod; N.L. fem. n. Oceanirhabdus a rod of the ocean). Firmicutes / Clostridia / Clostridiales / Clostridiaceae / Oceanirhabdus Cells are rod‐shaped with peritrichous flagella. Endospores form during stationary phase of growth. Cells are Gram‐positive staining. Colonies are circular, white, semitransparent with a smooth surface. Obligate anaerobes. Optimal growth at pH 6.5–7.0, 34–38°C, and 2.5% (w/v) NaCl. Cells can utilize multiple types of complex proteinaceous substrates as carbon and energy sources. The predominant cellular fatty acids are anteiso‐C 15:0 , C 16:0 , iso‐C 15:0 , anteiso‐C 17:0 , and C 16:0 DMA. No isoprenoid quinone is detected. Oceanirhabdus is in the class Clostridia , the order Clostridiales , and the family Clostridiaceae . The genus Oceanirhabdus comprises one species, Oceanirhabdus sediminicola . The type strain of the type species of the genus was isolated from marine sediments. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes indicates that Oceanirhabdus is a lineage that is separated from the closely related genera in the family Clostridiaceae . DNA G + C content (mol%) : 35.8 (HPLC). Type species : Oceanirhabdus sediminicola Pi et al. 2013 VP .

    Abstract Spo.ro.sa.li.bac.te'ri.um. Gr. n. spora a seed and, in bacteriology, a spore; L. n. sal, salis salt; L. neut. n. bacterium a rod; N.L. neut. n. Sporosalibacterium a moderately halophilic sporulated rod. Firmicutes / Clostridia / Clostridiales / Clostridiaceae / Sporosalibacterium The genus Sporosalibacterium , at the time of writing, comprised two validly published species, Sporosalibacterium faouarense , which was isolated from a hydrocarbon‐polluted soil surrounding a deep petroleum environment located in the El Faouar area in south Tunisia, and Sporosalibacterium tautonense , obtained from the sample of a microbial mat, developed under the flow of subsurface water in TauTona Gold Mine, South Africa. The species of the genus are thermotolerant, moderately halophilic, and strictly anaerobic and present a fermentative growth on carbohydrates. Phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene sequences placed the two species as representatives of Clostridiaceae family. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 32.9 ± 2.5 (HPLC).

Caloranaerobacter a thermophilic, anaerobic rod Firmicutes / “Clostridia” / Clostridiales / Clostridiaceae / Caloranaerobacter Motile rod‐shaped cells. Under optimal conditions are short rods, about 0.3–0.5 × 0.5–2 µm, found singly, in pairs, or in short chains (less than 5 cells). Gram‐stain‐negative. Thermophilic ; temperature range for growth 45–65 °C, optimum growth at 65 °C. Adapted to the pH and salinity of ocean waters . pH range 5.5–9.0, optimum pH 7.0. Salinity range 10–100 g sea salts per liter, optimum 30 g sea salts per liter. Anaerobic, chemoorganotrophic , able to ferment carbohydrates and proteinaceous substrates. Sulfur not required for growth. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis presented in the roadmap to Volume 3 (Figure 5), Caloranaerobacter is located in the family Clostridiaceae , order Clostridiales , class Clostridia , in the phylum Firmicutes ; formerly, it was classified in cluster XII of the Clostridium subphylum (Collins et al., 1 9 9 4). DNA G + C content ( mol %): 27 ( T m ). Type species : Caloranaerobacter azorensis Wery, Moricet, Cueff, Jean, Pignet, Lesongeur, Cambon‐Bonavita and Barbier 2 0 0 1, 1795 VP .
