. "Clostridium"@en . . . "Clostridium is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the Firmicutes. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. Individual cells are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek kloster (\u03BA\u03BB\u03C9\u03C3\u03C4\u03AE\u03C1) or spindle. These characteristics traditionally defined the genus; but many species originally classified as Clostridium have been reclassified in other genera."@en . "lightgrey"@en . . . . .
