ES-2 is a member of the Clostridium/Eubacterium group of the Firmicutes, and is particularly close (probably deserves to be in the same genus or even species) to Caloranaerobacter azorensis, a more recent deep-sea vent isolate. At the time of this analysis (but no longer), organisms from this group that produce spores were considered to be in the genus Clostridium, while those that did not produce spores were classified as Eubacterium. Because of the environment from which it was isolated, the new species was named Eubacterium thermomarinus.
