• Notes:
  • 🧒 Bello et al. (2024) assigned the genus Peptoclostridium Galperin et al. 2016 to this family. Publication: Bello S, McQuay S, Rudra B, Gupta RS.

  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Peptostreptococcaceae Ezaki 2010. Publication: Galperin MY, Brover V, Tolstoy I, Yutin N. Phylogenomic analysis of the family Peptostreptococcaceae (Clostridium cluster XI) and proposal for reclassification of Clostridium litorale (Fendrich et al. 1991) and Eubacterium acidaminophilum (Zindel et al. 1989) as Peptoclostridium litorale gen. nov. comb. nov. and Peptoclostridium acidaminophilum comb. nov.

  • ❗ Peptoclostridiaceae 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).
