Abstract
Peptostreptococcus elsdenii Gutierrez et al. 1959 does not have the characteristics of the genus Peptostreptococcus Kluyver and van Niel. The organism appears to be unique and is here relegated to a new genus, Megasphaera. The type species is Megasphaera elsdenii (Gutierrez et al.) comb. nov., of which the type strain is LC1 (= ATCC 25940 = NCIB 8927). The placement of this genus in a family will be done in a future publication.
