The '''Acidaminococcaceae''' are a family<ref name="pmid17625216">{{cite journal |author=Morotomi M, Nagai F, Sakon H |title=Genus Megamonas should be placed in the lineage of Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; 'Acidaminococcaceae'; Megamonas |journal=Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol. |volume=57 |issue=Pt 7 |pages=1673–4 |year=2007 |month=July |pmid=17625216 |doi=10.1099/ijs.0.65150-0 |url=http://ijs.sgmjournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=17625216}}</ref> of [[bacterium|bacteria]]. They are grouped together mainly based on genetic studies, which place them among the [[Firmicutes]]. Supporting this placement, several species are capable of forming [[endospore]]s. However, they differ from most other Firmicutes in having [[Gram-negative]] stains. The cell wall composition is peculiar. |
|||
Members of this family are all obligate [[anaerobe]]s, and occur in habitats such as rivers, lakes, and the intestines of vertebrates. They range from spherical forms, such as ''Megasphaera'' and ''Veillonella'', to curved rods, as typified by the [[Selenomonad]]s. ''Selenomonas'' has a characteristic crescent-shape, with flagella inserted on the concave side, while ''Sporomusa'' is similar but non-motile. Their names refer to this distinctive morphology: ''[[selene]]'' means moon, and ''musa'' means [[banana]]. |
|||
The name Selenobacteria also refers to this group. |
|||
Genera within this family have been placed in the wider family '''[[Veillonellaceae]]'''. |
