Basfia is a monotypic genus of bacterium from the Pasteurellaceae family, first described in 2010.[1] Its only species, Basfia succiniciproducens, is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, and immobile bacterium.[2] It was first isolated from bovine rumen in 2008.[3][4] Its ability to produce relatively large quantities of succinic acid through fermentation in biomass hydrolysates is potentially important for industrial biotechnology.[5]
