Abstract
The phylogenetic position of Acidaminococcus fermentans was determined by comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA. This Gram-negative bacterium is a member of the Sporomusa cluster that is defined by other Gram-negative bacteria, i.e. Sporomusa, Megasphaera, Selenomonas, Butyrivibrio, Pectinatus, and Zymophilus. The branching point of this group within the radiation of Gram-positive bacteria of the Clostridium/Bacillus subphylum and adjacent to Peptococcus niger could be confirmed. Chemotaxonomic data were provided for a more detailed characterization of A. fermentans.Entities:
