The Clostridia are a class of Firmicutes, including Clostridium and other similar genera. They are distinguished from the Bacilli by lacking aerobic respiration. Studies show they are not a monophyletic group, and their relationships are not entirely certain. Most are currently placed within a single order, called Clostridiales. Some enzymes included are used in bioremediation. Classes Bacilli Clostridia Mollicutes The Firmicutes are a division of bacteria, most of which have Gram-positive stains. ...

Medmicro Chapter 18 (9599 words)
Clostridia are strictly anaerobic to aerotolerant sporeforming bacilli found in soil as well as in normal intestinal flora of man and animals.
Clostridia are ubiquitous in the soil and in the normal microbial flora of humans and animals.
Many clostridia are transient or permanent members of the normal flora of the human skin and the gastrointestinal tracts of humans and animals.
Tetanus and Botulism (2601 words)
Most clostridia will not grow under aerobic conditions and vegetative cells are killed by exposure to O2, but their spores are able to survive long periods of exposure to air.
The clostridia are ancient organisms that live in virtually all of the anaerobic habitats of nature where organic compounds are present, including soils, aquatic sediments and the intestinal tracts of animals.
Clostridia are able to ferment a wide variety of organic compounds.
