Syntrophales

[edit]

The Syntrophaceae family, belonging to the Syntrophobacterales order, comprises four genera: Syntrophus, Smithella, Desulfobacca, and Desulfomonile. Their defining characteristics are shaped by their 16S rRNA gene sequences, which also help distinguish between the various members of the family. All members have rod-shaped cells and do not form spores. Additionally, these gram-negative bacteria predominantly lack motility, although some can move using one or two polar flagella.
