Syntrophaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Syntrophales. It comprises four genera: Syntrophus, Smithella, Desulfobacca and Desulfomonile. All members have rod-shaped cells and do not form spores. As gram-negative bacteria, the presence of a thin cell wall and a double membrane is notable. This bacterium usually forms red or pink colonies.
