Clostridium scatologenes

Clostridium scatologenes (CLOSL) is an anaerobic, motile, gram-positive bacterium.

Originally, in 1925, Fellers and Clough named this species Clostridium scatol. In 1927, Weinberg and Ginsbourg's later reclassification was Bacillus scatologenes. The species has borne its present name since 1948.
