Desulfovibrionales are a taxonomic order of bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermodesulfobacteriota, with four families. They are Gram-negative. The majority are sulfate-reducing, with the exception of Lawsonia and Bilophila. All members of this order are obligately anaerobic. Most species are mesophilic, but some are moderate thermophiles.
The Aquificaceae family are bacteria that live in harsh environmental settings such as hot springs, sulfur pools, and hydrothermal vents. Although they are true bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea, Aquificaceae genera are an early phylogenetic branch.
The Thermoactinomycetaceae are a family of Gram-positive endospore-forming bacteria.
The Halanaerobiales are an order of bacteria placed within the class Clostridia, and encompassing two families, the Halanaerobiaceae and the Halobacteroidaceae. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside the Bacillota. Halanaerobiales are halophilic obligate anaerobes with a fermentative or homoacetogenic metabolism.
The Chlamydiaceae are a family of gram-negative bacteria that belongs to the phylum Chlamydiota, order Chlamydiales. Chlamydiaceae species express the family-specific lipopolysaccharide epitope αKdo-(2→8)-αKdo-(2→4)-αKdo. Chlamydiaceae ribosomal RNA genes all have at least 90% DNA sequence identity. Chlamydiaceae species have varying inclusion morphology, varying extrachromosomal plasmid content, and varying sulfadiazine resistance.
Caldicellulosiruptor is a genus of thermophilic, anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore forming bacteria. Originally placed within the highly polyphyletic class Clostridia, order Thermoanaerobacterales and family Thermoanaerobacterales Family III according to the NCBI and LPSN, it is now thought to lie outside of the Bacillota. Caldicellulosiruptor is known to degrade and ferment complex carbohydrates from plant matter, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, and certain species in the genus have been identified as potential candidates for biofuel production.
Dialister is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.
Moorella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacillota.
Pelosinus is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes.
The Nautiliaceae are a family of bacteria placed in an order to itself, Nautiliales. The members of the family are all thermophilic.
Arachnia is a bacterial genus from the family Propionibacteriaceae.
Phycisphaeraceae is a family of bacteria.
Gimesia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Planctomycetaceae with nine known species. Gimesia maris has been isolated from neritic water from Puget Sound in the United States.
Nocardioidaceae is a family of Gram-positive bacteria within the class Actinomycetia.
The Propionibacteriales are an order of bacteria.
The Micrococcales are an order of bacteria in the phylum Actinomycetota.
The Nocardiopsaceae are a family of bacteria.
Streptosporangiaceae is a family of bacteria.
The Thermodesulfobacteriaceae are a class of sulfate-reducing bacteria.
Thermosipho is a genus of Gram-negative staining, anaerobic, and mostly thermophilic and hyperthermophilic bacteria in the family Thermotogaceae.
