Popis: The genus Peptostreptococcus (Kluyver & van Niel 1936) as presently constituted is phylogenetically and phenotypically incoherent; biochemical, chemical and molecular data indicate that the genus comprises a collection of very heterogeneous species. The type species Peptostreptococcus anaerobius is only distantly related to other Peptostreptococcus species and as such cannot be considered a member of the same genus. We therefore propose that the genus Peptostreptococcus be restricted to P. anaerobius and emend the description accordingly.
