The Deferribacteraceae are a family of gram-negative bacteria which make energy by anaerobic respiration.[2]

Description[edit]

Deferribacteraceae are rod-shaped, although the rods may be straight or bent. They are gram-negative. Deferribacteraceae perform anaerobic respiration using iron, manganese, or nitrate. They can also produce energy by fermentation. The type genus of the family is Deferribacter.[2]

Taxonomy[edit]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN) [3] [4]

History[edit]

The family was first described in 2001 in order to hold the genera Deferribacter, Flexistipes, and Geovibrio.[2]
