In this respect, these three Anaerobaculum species should be reclassified within the genus Acetomicrobium, which has priority over the genus Anaerobaculum, which was validated since the genus Acetomicrobium. The DNA G+C content of Acetomicrobium flavidum is 47.1 mol%, which is of the same order as that of the three Anaerobaculum species. All these bacteria have in common iso-C15 : 0 as their main fatty acid. Based on further phylogenetic, genetic and chemotaxonomic studies, we propose that Anaerobaculum mobile ( = DSM 13181T = JCM 12221T), Anaerobaculum thermoterrenum ( = DSM 13490T = ACM 5076T) and Anaerobaculum hydrogeniformans ( = DSM 22491T = ATCC BAA-1850T) be reclassified as Acetomicrobium mobile comb. nov., Acetomicrobium thermoterrenum comb. nov. and Acetomicrobium hydrogeniformans comb. nov., respectively. The four bacterial species belong to the phylum Synergistetes., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.000910
