Anaerobiospirillum is a genus of Gram-negative, spiral-shaped, obligately anaerobic bacteria in the family Succinivibrionaceae. The genus was first described in 1976 based on the type species Anaerobiospirillum succiniciproducens which was isolated from from the gastrointestinal tract of humans.[1] A second species, Anaerobiospirillum thomasii, was later described in 1997 based on isolates from the feces of domestic animals and humans with diarrhea.[2]
