Firmicutes corrig. Gibbons and Murray 1978
General information
Description and emendation
Procaryotes having a gram-positive type of cell wall. Reproduction mainly by binary fission. Cells may be spheres, rods, or filaments; the filaments may be branching or nonbranching. Some form endospores; some produce spores on hyphae or in sporangia. Some are motile by means of flagella; the majority are nonmotile. These organisms may be aerobic, anaerobic, or facultativelyanaerobic. Several orders that cover some of the groups in this division are listed in Index Bergeyana. Actinomycetales was the only order provided by the authors of the 8th edition of the Manual, and it might be considered the type order on the basis of priority. However, Bacillales is proposed as the type order, based on the priority of the genus Bacillus over Actinomyces. It is also a more typical representative of gram-positive organisms.
