7. Clostridium
   `Clostridium` is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria, belonging to the Firmicutes. They are obligate anaerobes capable of producing endospores. Individual cells are rod-shaped, which gives them their name, from the Greek `kloster` or spindle. These characteristics traditionally defined the genus, but they are not phylogenetically significant; many species originally classified as `Clostridium` have been reclassified in other genera.
