Talk:Firmicutes

message: Moreover, Firmicutes figures as a phylum in the section on Bacillus subtilis! Googling for Firmicutes reveals more references to it as a phylum than as a division and googling for "Firmicutes phylum" beats googling for "Firmicutes division" 2220 : 46.

thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: There have been a few articles   discussing a species related to Firmicutes that uses radiated water and not sunlight as its food source.  It seems like this maybe ought to be added to this article, but I'm not really sure how to incorporate it. TerraFrost 15:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article lists Mycoplasma (Mollicutes) as part of the Firmicutes, while the Mollicutes and Tenericutes articles, and also other sources like the ribosomal database project lists them as Tenericutes. Anyone know what is correct, or can both be correct? 129.241.85.173 (talk) 11:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I've been trying to find out how "Firmicutes" is correctly pronounced. Most of the sources I have looked at seem unreliable. Is it pronounced firm-eh-cutes or firm-eh-cute-eez?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.58.131.3 (talk) 16:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I pronounce it fuhrm'-uh-kyootz' (which I'm guessing is homonymous with your former guess). I'm from Midwest America, though, where "fiddle" and "little" rhyme, so my regional pronunciation of this word may be drastically different from wherever you're from.

text: To the best of my knowledge: The howjsay pronunciation is the one to use: fir MIK kyoo teez.  Since Linnaeus began the whole thing with Latin, we still stick to latin pronunciations and use latinized versions of non-latin words when naming new species, e.g. Strigiphilus garylarsoni.  Our English habits make us want to leave out the "teez."  However, unlike English, Latin was not a bastardized language.  It was pure, and every letter counted.  (Why bother with silent Es or letters that don't actually have a sound of their own?  Yeah, that's right.  I'm talking about you, C.)  So, the best rule when approaching a new scientific name is to pronounce each and every letter.  Another example: the bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes - bak teer roy DAY teez or bak teer ROY de teez.  I believe the first is the most proper, but the rules for stressing syllables in Latin are somewhat complicated and conditional, and I don't know them all.  Also, check out http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~microlab/CLASSINFO/IMAGESCI/pronunciation%20guide.pdf.  I would argue with some of his pronunciations, but only on minor points.

thread_title:  Role in obesity 

message: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmicutes#Classes on firmicutes: "The group is typically divided into the Clostridia, which are anaerobic, the Bacilli, which are obligate or facultative aerobes, and the Mollicutes."
However, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenericutes "Tenericutes (tener cutis: soft skin) is a phylum of bacteria that contains the Class Mollicutes."
Surely both can't be correct?
