The first 1000 cultured species of the human gastrointestinal microbiota (2014, background): “Furthermore, it has been shown that an increased abundance of Erysipelotrichaceae correlates with choline deficiency-induced fatty liver disease (Spencer et al., 2011), which causes multiple organ dysfunctions.”
Insights from 20 years of bacterial genome sequencing (2015, background): “Knowing that the Firmicute classes are very diverse and in need of pruning, for which 16S sequences are not always a reliable indicator (Ludwig et al. 2009), the genome sequences of Negativicutes were tested and their position within the Firmicutes was confirmed.”
Expanded microbial genome coverage and improved protein family annotation in the COG database (2014, background): “The only exception is that mycoplasmas are still listed in class Mollicutes within the phylum Firmicutes, not as a separate phylum Tenericutes, as proposed in the recent taxonomic update (24) but questioned by some phylogenetic studies (25– 27).”

Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (2014, unknown): “The family Staphylococcaceae was first proposed by a taxonomic outline during the formulation of the 2nd edition of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (25, 26).”
Untangling the Genetic Basis of Fibrolytic Specialization by Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae in Diverse Gut Communities (2013, methodology): “Phylogenetic Arrangement of Lachnospiraceae, Clostridiaceae, and Ruminococcaceae Sixty eight high quality (greater than 1,200 bases) 16S rRNA sequences of representative taxa from each family in the most recent taxonomic revision of the Phylum Firmicutes in Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology”
