Anaerobacter is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria related to Clostridium. They are anaerobic chemotrophs and are unusual spore-formers as they produce more than one spore per bacterial cell (up to five).[2] They fix nitrogen. Their G+C content is 29%.[3] Only one species of this genus (Anaerobacter polyendosporus) has been described.[1]
