Phylum:	Bacillota
Class:	Clostridia Rainey 2010
Order:	Thermoanaerobacterales Wiegel 2010
Families and genera
Thermoanaerobacteraceae Zhaonellaceae

The Thermoanaerobacterales is a polyphyletic order of bacteria placed within the polyphyletic class Clostridia, and encompassing four families: the Thermoanaerobacteraceae, the Thermodesulfobiaceae, the Thermoanaerobacterales Family III. Incertae Sedis, and the Thermoanaerobacterales Family IV. Incertae Sedis, and various unplaced genera.

This order is noted for the species' abilities to survive in extreme environments without oxygen and of relatively elevated temperatures for a living being (up to 80-90 °C). An example organism in this order is Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus.

Taxonomy

The Thermoanaerobacterales, as previously mentioned, is polyphyletic, and consists of numerous morphologically similar clades:
