WHAT DOES CLOSTRIDIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Clostridia

The Clostridia are a highly polyphyletic class of Firmicutes, including Clostridium and other similar genera. They are distinguished from the Bacilli by lacking aerobic respiration. They are obligate anaerobes and oxygen is toxic to them. Species of the genus Clostridium are all Gram-positive and have the ability to form spores. Studies show they are not a monophyletic group, and their relationships are not entirely certain. Currently most are placed in a single order called Clostridiales, but this is not a natural group and is likely to be redefined in the future. Most species of the genus Clostridium are saprophytic organisms found in many places in the environment, most notably the soil. However, the genus does contain some human pathogens. The toxins produced by certain members of the Clostridium genus are among the most dangerous known. Examples are tetanus toxin produced by C. tetani and botulinum toxin produced by C. botulinum.
