''Deferribacteraceae'' fam. nov." In: Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd ed., vol. 1 (The [Archaea](/source/Archaea) and the deeply branching and [phototrophic](/source/Phototrophic_heterotroph) Bacteria) (D.R. Boone and R.W. Castenholz, eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York (2001). pp. 465-466. ==Description== Deferribacteraceae are [rod-shaped](/source/bacillus_(shape)), although the rods may be straight or bent. They are [gram-negative](/source/Gram_stain). Deferribacteraceae perform anaerobic respiration using iron, [manganese](/source/manganese), or [nitrate](/source/nitrate). They can also produce energy by [fermentation](/source/fermentation). The type genus of the family is ''[Deferribacter](/source/Deferribacter)''. ==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) (LSPN){{lpsn3|family/Deferribacteraceae|Deferribacteraceae}} 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=191393&lvl= |title=Deferribacteraceae |accessdate=2025-06-05 |publisher=[National Center for Biotechnology Information](/source/National_Center_for_Biotechnology_Information) (NCBI) taxonomy database}} * '''Phylum Deferribacterota''' Garrity and Holt 2021 ** '''Class Deferribacteres''' Huber & Stetter 2002 *** '''Order Deferribacterales''' Huber & Stetter 2002 **** Genus ?"''Ca.
