Why don't we redirect this article to Clostridium? Clostridia is just the plural, and Clostridium has more info. --Joelmills 23:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

The biological names don't follow the Latin directly. Clostridia is the formal name for a group that includes Clostridium, but also includes other similar bacteria, like heliobacteria. They aren't synonyms. Josh

Wow, never knew that. My assumption would have been the same as Joelmills. You sure learn some stuff around here! Vilĉjo 00:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
