The Myxococcota are a phylum of bacteria known as the fruiting gliding bacteria. [4] All species of this group are Gram-negative. They are predominantly aerobic genera that release myxospores in unfavorable environments.
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN) [5] and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). [6]

The Aquificota phylum is a diverse collection of bacteria that live in harsh environmental settings. The name Aquificota was given to this phylum based on an early genus identified within this group, Aquifex, which is able to produce water by oxidizing hydrogen. They have been found in springs, pools, and oceans. They are autotrophs, and are the primary carbon fixers in their environments. These bacteria are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming rods. They are true bacteria as opposed to the other inhabitants of extreme environments, the Archaea.
Chrysiogenaceae is a family of bacteria.
The Thermoprotei is a class of the Thermoproteota.
The Geobacteraceae are a family within the Thermodesulfobacteriota.
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 Syntrophobacterales are an order of Thermodesulfobacteriota. All genera are strictly anaerobic. Many of the family Syntrophobacteraceae are sulfate-reducing. Some species are motile by using one polar flagellum.
Desulfovibrionaceae is a family of bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermodesulfobacteriota.
Desulfohalobiaceae is a family of bacteria belonging to the phylum Thermodesulfobacteriota.
The Deferribacteraceae are a family of gram-negative bacteria which make energy by anaerobic respiration.
The Thermodesulfobacteriota are a phylum of thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria.
The phylum Elusimicrobiota, previously known as "Termite Group 1", has been shown to be widespread in different ecosystems like marine environment, sewage sludge, contaminated sites and soils, and toxic wastes. The high abundance of Elusimicrobiota representatives is only seen for the lineage of symbionts found in termites and ants.
Armatimonadota is a phylum of gram-negative bacteria.
Desulfonatronum is a Gram-negative and extremely alkaliphilic bacteria genus from the family of Desulfovibrionaceae.
Syntrophus is a Gram negative bacterial genus from the family of Syntrophaceae.
The Rhodothermales are an order of bacteria.
Balneolales is an order of bacteria.
Bdellovibrionota is a phylum of bacteria.
The Ignavibacteriales are an order of obligately anaerobic, non-photosynthetic bacteria that are closely related to the green sulfur bacteria.
The Desulfocapsaceae are a family of Thermodesulfobacteriota.
The Bryobacteraceae are a family of Acidobacteriota.
