The '''Deferribacteraceae''' are a family of gram-negative bacteria which make energy by anaerobic respiration.<ref name=Bergey>Huber, H., and Stetter, K.O. "Family I. ''Deferribacteraceae'' fam. nov." In: Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, 2nd ed., vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria) (D.R. Boone and R.W. Castenholz, eds.), Springer-Verlag, New York (2001). pp. 465-466.</ref>
==Description== Deferribacteraceae are rod-shaped, although the rods may be straight or bent. They are gram-negative. Deferribacteraceae perform anaerobic respiration using iron, manganese, or nitrate. They can also produce energy by fermentation. The type genus of the family is ''Deferribacter''.<ref name=Bergey/>
==Phylogeny== The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN)<ref name=LPSN>{{lpsn3|family/Deferribacteraceae|Deferribacteraceae}}</ref> and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).<ref name=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 (NCBI) taxonomy database}}</ref>
