Phylogeny

This family formerly included two genera (Thermodesulfobium and Coprothermobacter); however, the taxonomy of this family is under review because the genus Coprothermobacter was excluded from this family in March 2018, after several genomic analyses confirmed the differences between them.[1] The most recent classification updates are already reported by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI),[2] even though some taxonomy considering former versions of the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN),[3] or old releases of 16S rRNA-based tree from The All-Species Living Tree Project,[4] may still include it.
