Rhodospirillaceae Family of bacteria

The Rhodospirillaceae are a family of Pseudomonadota. The majority are purple nonsulfur bacteria, producing energy through photosynthesis; originally all purple nonsulfur bacteria were included here.

Hyphomicrobiales Order of bacteria

The Hyphomicrobiales are an order of Gram-negative Alphaproteobacteria.

In taxonomy, the Thermoplasmataceae are a family of the Thermoplasmatales. It contains only one genus, Thermoplasma. All species within Thermoplasmataceae are thermoacidophiles, and they grow at a temperature of 60°C and pH 2. They were isolated from hydrothermal vents, fumaroles and similar environments.

Desulfurococcales Order of archaea

The Desulfurococcales are an order of the Thermoprotei, part of the kingdom Archaea. The order encompasses a number of genera which are all thermophilic, autotrophs which utilise chemical energy, typically by reducing sulfur compounds using hydrogen.

Methanosarcinales Order of archaea

In taxonomy, the Methanosarcinales are an order of the Methanomicrobia.

In taxonomy, the Methanosaetaceae are a family of microbes within the order Methanosarcinales. All species within this family use acetate as their sole source of energy.

Methanocaldococcus formerly known as Methanococcus is a genus of coccoid methanogen archaea. They are all mesophiles, except the thermophilic M. thermolithotrophicus and the hyperthermophilic M. jannaschii. The latter was discovered at the base of a “white smoker” chimney at 21°N on the East Pacific Rise and it was the first archaean genome to be completely sequenced, revealing many novel and eukaryote-like elements.

In taxonomy, Methanotorris is a genus of the Methanocaldococcaceae. The organisms in this genus differ from those of Methanothermococcus in that they are hyperthermophiles and from those of Methanocaldococcus in that they have no flagella, are not motile, and do not require selenium to grow. These microbes have not been shown to cause any illnesses.

Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology is the main resource for determining the identity of prokaryotic organisms, emphasizing bacterial species, using every characterizing aspect.

Methanocalculus halotolerans is a species of archaeon, the type species of its genus. It is an irregular coccoid hydrogenotrophic methanogen. Its type strain is SEBR 4845T.

Nocardioides aquaticus is a species of Gram-positive, non-motile and aerobic bacteria. Its type strain is EL-17KT.

Lentilactobacillus parakefiri is a species in the genus Lentilactobacillus first isolated from kefir grains, hence its name. Its type strain is GCL 1731.

Microbacterium dextranolyticum is a bacterium of the family Microbacteriaceae.

The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.

Asaia is a genus of Gram-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria from the family of Acetobacteraceae which occur in tropical plants. Asaia might be able to control malaria by massively colonizing the midgut and the male reproductive system of the mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Syntrophus is a Gram negative bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophaceae.

Phenylobacterium is a Gram negative, strictly aerobic non-motile and bacterial genus from the family of Caulobacteraceae which can grow on chloridazon–mineral salts.

Hymenobacter is a Gram-negative and non-motile bacterial genus from the family Hymenobacteraceae.

Cryomorphaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Flavobacteriales which occur in marine habitats.

Xylanimonas is a Gram-positive and non-spore-forming bacterial genus from the family Promicromonosporaceae.
