'''''Sphaerobacter''''' is a genus of bacteria. When originally described it was placed in its own subclass (Spahaerobacteridae) within the class [Actinomycetota](/source/Actinomycetota). Subsequently, phylogenetic studies have now placed it in its own order '''Sphaerobacterales''' within the phylum [Thermomicrobiota](/source/Thermomicrobiota).<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Stackebrandt E, Rainey FA, Ward-Rainey NL | title = Proposal for a new hierarchic classification system, Actinobacteria classis nov. | journal =   International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology| year = 1997 | volume = 47 | pages = 479–491 | url=http://ijs.sgmjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/47/2/479 | issue=2 | doi = 10.1099/00207713-47-2-479| doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | pmid = 15545432 | doi=10.1099/ijs.0.03028-0 | volume=54 | title=Reclassification of Sphaerobacter thermophilus from the subclass Sphaerobacteridae in the phylum Actinobacteria to the class Thermomicrobia (emended description) in the phylum Chloroflexi (emended description) | date=November 2004 | journal=Int.
