Anaerolineaceae is a family of bacteria from the order of Anaerolineales. [1] [4] [5] [6] Anaerolineaceae bacteria occur in marine sediments. [7] There are a total of twelve genera in this family, most of which only encompass one species. [8] All known members of the family are Gram-negative and non-motile. They also do not form bacterial spores and are either mesophilic or thermophilic obligate anaerobes. It is also known that all species in this family are chemoheterotrophs. [9]
The first species discovered in the family Anaerolineaceae was the species Anaerolinea thermophila , with a report on the matter written by Yuji Sekiguchi et. al. in 2003. [10] It was isolated alongside the bacterial species Caldilinea aerophila , a facultative anaerobe. The discovery of these two specimens prompted the addition of a new subphylum in bacterial taxonomy. [10]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). [11]
