Abstract
Peptococcus Kluyver and van Niel, Peptostreptococcus Kluyver and van Niel, and Ruminococcus Sijpestein have recently been placed in the family Peptococcaceae Rogosa. Because Sarcina Goodsir also comprises gram-positive, anaerobic cocci whose general metabolism and other characteristics are consistent with the characteristics of Peptococcaceae, it is herein proposed that the genus Sarcina Goodsir be transferred from Micrococcaceae Pribram to Peptococcaceae Rogosa.
