The phylum is composed of a single class (), 4 orders (), 5 families (), and 13 genera. They have been isolated from extremely hot environments whose characteristics are reflected in the metabolic and phenotypic properties of the species. The metabolic versatility of members leads to a pool of high value-added products with application potentials in many industry fields. The low risk of contamination associated with their extreme culture conditions has made most species of the phylum attractive candidates in biotechnological processes. Almost all members of the phylum, especially those in the order , can produce bio-hydrogen from a variety …

Faculty Research & Creative Activity
For many years, the role of anaerobic bacteria in human diseasewas considered important only in such clostridial diseases as gas gangrene,botulism and tetanus. In the last 10 years, however, the developmentof new methods to isolate and identify anaerobic bacteria has establishedthe pathogenic role of non-sporeforming anaerobic bacteria in awide variety of clinical infections in humans. Bacteroides fragilis isnow known to account for approximately one-fourth of all anaerobicbacteria isolated from human clinical specimens.
