Source-derived summary

Clostridium scatologenes (CLOSL) is an anaerobic, motile, gram-positive bacterium.

Originally, in 1925, Fellers and Clough named this species Clostridium scatol. In 1927, Weinberg and Ginsbourg's later reclassification was Bacillus scatologenes. The species has borne its present name since 1948.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Clostridium scatologenes” is species of bacterium. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Clostridium, scatologenes and species, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1925, 1927, 1948, 2012—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Clostridium, scatologenes and species is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “species of bacterium” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3681146. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1925, 1927, 1948 and 2012.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
