Deferribacteraceae

The Deferribacteraceae are a family of gram-negative bacteria which make energy by anaerobic respiration.

Deferribacteraceae are rod-shaped, although the rods may be straight or bent. They are gram-negative. Deferribacteraceae perform anaerobic respiration using iron, manganese, or nitrate. They can also produce energy by fermentation. The type genus of the family is Deferribacter.

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN)

The family was first described in 2001 in order to hold the genera Deferribacter, Flexistipes, and Geovibrio.
