Basfia
Basfia is a monotypic genus of bacterium from the Pasteurellaceae family, first described in 2010. Its only species, Basfia succiniciproducens, is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and immobile bacterium. It was first isolated from bovine rumen in 2008. Its ability to produce relatively large quantities of succinic acid through fermentation in biomass hydrolysates is potentially important for industrial biotechnology.
