Sporomusa

Sporomusa is a genus of Firmicutes bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.[1] [2]

Sporomusa
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Bacteria

Species
Sporomusa acidovorans Ollivier et al. 1990 Sporomusa aerivorans Boga et al. 2003 Sporomusa malonica Dehning et al. 1990 Sporomusa ovata Möller et al. 1985 Sporomusa paucivorans Hermann et al. 1987 Sporomusa rhizae Gößner et al. 2006 Sporomusa silvacetica Kuhner et al. 1997 Sporomusa sphaeroides Möller et al. 1985 Sporomusa termitida Breznak et al. 1990

Further examination of members of this clade suggest that this group are actually members of the Clostridia.[3]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN) [1][2] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 111 by The All-Species Living Tree Project [4]
