  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Clostridiaceae Pribram 1933 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Ogg CD, Patel BK. Caloramator mitchellensis sp. nov., a thermoanaerobe isolated from the geothermal waters of the Great Artesian Basin of Australia, and emended description of the genus Caloramator. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:644-653. 🇦🇺
  • ❗ Caloramatoraceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
