Bacillota (synonym Firmicutes) is a phylum of bacteria, most of which have gram-positive cell wall structure. [2] The renaming of phyla such as Firmicutes in 2021 remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier names of long standing in the literature.
Eubacterium eligens is a member of the Bacillota (previously Firmicutes) phylum, which is one of two phyla which constitute more than 90% of microflora in the human gut. [4] [5] Characteristics of this phylum include low GC content in the DNA and Gram-positivity. [2]
The Bacillales are the most productive order of the phylum Firmicutes. [2] Representative genera include Bacillus, Listeria and Staphylococcus. [3] See also.
Streptococcus is a genus of gram-positive or spherical bacteria that belongs to the family Streptococcaceae, within the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria), in the phylum Bacillota. [2]
The Bacillaceae are a family of gram-positive, heterotrophic, rod-shaped bacteria that may produce endospores. [1] Motile members of this family are characterized by peritrichous flagella.
Gram-positive Firmicutes, with a thicker cell wall and more peptidoglycan ... Mollicutes taxonomy has been based on serology and phenotypic characteristics.
Cytobacillus is a genus of rod-shaped bacteria that stain either Gram-positive or Gram-variable in the family Bacillaceae within the order Bacillales. [1] [2] The type species for this genus is Cytobacillus firmus.
Enterococcus is a large genus of lactic acid bacteria of the phylum Bacillota.Enterococci are Gram-positive cocci that often occur in pairs or short chains, and are difficult to distinguish from streptococci on physical characteristics alone. [2]
