    <curatorial-note>rid.7590: Family XII Incertae Sedis includes Guggenheimella (new; Wyss et al., 2005), a newly described genus that, while clearly a member of the Clostridiales, cannot be assigned to any of the defined families. It possesses moderate relationships to Acidaminobacter (previously classified with the Clostridiaceae) and Fusibacter (previously classified with the “Peptostreptococcaceae”).</curatorial-note>
