Like other members of the class [Negativicutes](/source/Negativicutes), they are [gram-negative](/source/gram-negative), despite being [Bacillota](/source/Bacillota), which are normally [gram-positive](/source/gram-positive). ==Etymology== The name ''Acidaminococcus'' derives from:
[Neo-Latin](/source/Neo-Latin) noun ''acidum'' (from [Latin](/source/Latin) adjective ''acidus'', sour), an acid; [Neo-Latin](/source/Neo-Latin) adjective ''aminus'', amino; [Neo-Latin](/source/Neo-Latin) [masculine gender](/source/grammatical_gender) noun ''coccus'' (from [Greek](/source/Ancient_Greek_language) [masculine gender](/source/grammatical_gender) noun ''kokkos (κόκκος)'', grain, seed), coccus-shaped; [Neo-Latin](/source/Neo-Latin) [masculine gender](/source/grammatical_gender) noun ''Acidaminococcus'', the amino acid coccus. ==Phylogeny== The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the [List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature](/source/List_of_Prokaryotic_names_with_Standing_in_Nomenclature) (LPSN){{lpsn3|genus/acidaminococcus|Acidaminococcus}} and [National Center for Biotechnology Information](/source/National_Center_for_Biotechnology_Information) (NCBI).{{cite web |author=Schoch CL |display-authors=et al. |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?command=show&mode=tree&id=904&lvl=3 |title=Acidaminococcus |accessdate=2025-06-05 |publisher=[National Center for Biotechnology Information](/source/National_Center_for_Biotechnology_Information) (NCBI) taxonomy database}} {| class="wikitable" |- ! colspan=1 | 16S rRNA based [LTP](/source/The_All-Species_Living_Tree_Project)_10_2024{{cite web |title=The LTP |url=https://imedea.uib-csic.es/mmg/ltp/#LTP| access-date=10 December 2024}}{{cite web |title=LTP_all tree in newick format |url=https://imedea.uib-csic.es/mmg/ltp/wp-content/uploads/ltp/LTP_all_10_2024.ntree |access-date=10 December 2024}}{{cite web |title=LTP_10_2024 Release Notes |url=https://imedea.uib-csic.es/mmg/ltp/wp-content/uploads/ltp/LTP_10_2024_release_notes.pdf |access-date=10 December 2024}} ! colspan=1 | 120 marker proteins based [GTDB](/source/Genome_Taxonomy_Database) 10-RS226{{cite web |title=GTDB release 10-RS226 |url=https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/about#4%7C |website=[Genome Taxonomy Database](/source/Genome_Taxonomy_Database)|access-date=1 May 2025}}{{cite web |title=bac120_r226.sp_label |url=https://data.gtdb.ecogenomic.org/releases/release226/226.0/auxillary_files/bac120_r226.sp_labels.tree |website=[Genome Taxonomy Database](/source/Genome_Taxonomy_Database)|access-date=1 May 2025}}{{cite web |title=Taxon History |url=https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org/taxon_history/ |website=[Genome Taxonomy Database](/source/Genome_Taxonomy_Database)|access-date=1 May 2025}} |- | style="vertical-align:top| {{Clade | style=font-size:100%;line-height:80% |label1=''Acidaminococcus'' |1={{clade |1=''A. intestini'' |2={{clade |1=''A. fermentans'' |2=''A. hominis'' }} }} }} | {{Clade | style=font-size:100%;line-height:80% |label1=''Acidaminococcus'' |1={{clade |1=''A. intestini'' Jumas-Bilak et al. 2007{{Cite journal | last1 = Jumas-Bilak | first1 = E. | last2 = Carlier | first2 = J. -P. | last3 = Jean-Pierre | first3 = H. | last4 = Mory | first4 = F. | last5 = Teyssier | first5 = C. | last6 = Gay | first6 = B. | last7 = Campos | first7 = J. | last8 = Marchandin | first8 = H. | title = Acidaminococcus intestini sp.
