They are distinguished from the Bacilli by lacking aerobic respiration . They are obligate anaerobe s and oxygen is toxic to them. Species of the genus Clostridium are all Gram positive and have the ability to form spores. Studies show they are not a monophyly monophyletic group, and their relationships are not entirely certain. Currently most are placed in a single order called Clostridiales, but this is not a natural group and is likely to be redefined in the future. Most species of the genus Clostridium are saprophyte saprophytic organisms found in many places in the environment, most notably the soil. However, the genus does contain some human pathogens outlined below . The toxins produced by certain members of the Clostridium genus are among the most dangerous known to man. Examples are tetanus toxin known as tetanospasmin produced by C. tetani and botulinum toxin produced by C. botulinum . Notable species of this class include Clostridium perfringens Gangrene , Food poisoning Clostridium difficile Pseudomembranous colitis Clostridium tetani Tetanus Clostridium botulinum Botulism Clostridium ... more details
