  • Chapter
Bergey’s Manual® of Systematic Bacteriology

Abstract

The phylum Thermodesulfobacteria is currently represented by a single genus which branches deeply in the major reference trees. Gram-negative, rod-shaped cells possessing an outer membrane layer which forms protrusions. Thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, chemoheterotrophs exhibiting a dissimilatory sulfatereducing metabolism.

Ther.mo.de.sul.fo.bac.te’ri.a. M.L. fern. pl. n. Thermodesulfobacteriales type order of the phylum; dropping the ending to denote a phylum; M.L. fem. pI. n. Thermodesulfobacteria the phylum of Thermodesulfobacteriales.
