Mesoplasma is a genus of bacteria belonging to the class Mollicutes. Mesoplasma is related to the genus Mycoplasma but differ in several respects. [2]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) [4]

The Thermoprotei is a class of the Thermoproteota.
Mollicutes is a class of bacteria distinguished by the absence of a cell wall. The word "Mollicutes" is derived from the Latin mollis, and cutis. Individuals are very small, typically only 0.2–0.3 μm in size and have a very small genome size. They vary in form, although most have sterols that make the cell membrane somewhat more rigid. Many are able to move about through gliding, but members of the genus Spiroplasma are helical and move by twisting. The best-known genus in the Mollicutes is Mycoplasma. Colonies show the typical "fried-egg" appearance.
Acholeplasmataceae is a family of bacteria. It is the only family in the order Acholeplasmatales, placed in the class Mollicutes. The family comprises the genera Acholeplasma and Phytoplasma. Phytoplasma has the candidatus status, because members still could not be cultured.
Entomoplasmatales is a small order of mollicute bacteria.
Anaeroplasmatales is an order of mollicute bacteria which are generally found in the rumens of cattle and sheep. The only family in the order is the family Anaeroplasmataceae.
Parachlamydiaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Chlamydiales. Species in this family have a Chlamydia–like cycle of replication and their ribosomal RNA genes are 80–90% identical to ribosomal genes in the Chlamydiaceae. The Parachlamydiaceae naturally infect amoebae and can be grown in cultured Vero cells. The Parachlamydiaceae are not recognized by monoclonal antibodies that detect Chlamydiaceae lipopolysaccharide.
In the taxonomy of microorganisms, the Methanomicrobia are a class of the Euryarchaeota.
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.
In taxonomy, the Methanobacteriales are an order of the Methanobacteria. Species within this order differ from other methanogens in that they can use fewer catabolic substrates and have distinct morphological characteristics, lipid compositions, and RNA sequences. Their cell walls are composed of pseudomurein. Most species are Gram-positive with rod-shaped bodies and some can form long filaments. Most of them use formate to reduce carbon dioxide, but those of the genus Methanosphaera use hydrogen to reduce methanol to methane.
In taxonomy, the Methanococcales are an order of the Methanococci.
In taxonomy, the Methanosarcinaceae are a family of the Methanosarcinales.
The Pyrodictiaceae are a family of disc-shaped anaerobic microorganisms belonging to the order Desulfurococcales, in the domain Archaea. Members of this family are distinguished from the other family (Desulfurococcaceae) in the order Desulfurococcales by having an optimal growth temperature above 100 °C, rather than below 100 °C.
The Acidobacteriaceae are a family of Acidobacteriota.
Moorella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacillota.
Entomoplasma is a mollicute bacteria genus. Entomoplasma freundtii can be isolated from the green tiger beetle.
Pelotomaculum is a Gram-positive strictly anaerobic, mesophilic, thermophilic and non-motile bacterial genus from the family of Peptococcaceae.
Carboxydocella is a Gram-positive and obligate anaerobe bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophomonadaceae.
Bulleidia is a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, anaerobic and non-motile genus from the family of Erysipelotrichidae, with one known species.
Desulfonatronovibrio is a Gram-negative, vibrios, anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Desulfohalobiaceae with a single polar flagellum.
The Opitutaceae are a Gram-negative and chemoheterotrophic order of the domain Bacteria. Opitutaceae bacteria were isolated from soil and coastal marine springs.
