Abstract
The family Caldisericaceae belongs to the order Caldisericales in the class Caldisericia in the phylum Caldiserica and consists of only one cultured representative, Caldisericum exile. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that this organism is not closely related to any known cultured bacteria and belongs to the group formerly known as the candidate phylum OP5. Caldisericum exile is an anaerobic, thermophilic, filamentous bacterium and grows chemoheterotrophically via reduction of sulfur compounds. It was isolated from a hot spring in Japan, and culture-independent analyses showed that this family inhabits unique environments.
