Turicibacter is a genus in the Bacillota phylum of bacteria that has most commonly been found in the guts of animals.[1] The genus is named after the city in which it was first isolated, Zurich (Latin = Turicum), Switzerland.[2]
Phylogeny
The position of Turicibacter within the Bacillota could not be resolved using 16S rRNA gene-based analyses. However, it was tentatively placed in the class Bacilli, then the class Erysipelotrichia.[3]
In a tree built using a concatenated protein alignment containing data from two draft Turicibacter genomes, the group was placed at the base of the class Bacilli.[4] Later analyses that also included amino acid sequences predicted by a complete Turicibacter genome came to the same conclusion.[1]
