Rubrobacter is a genus of Actinomycetota. ^{[4] [1]} It is radiotolerant and may rival Deinococcus radiodurans in this regard. ^{[5] [4]}

Phylogeny

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). ^[3]

16S rRNA based LTP_10_2024 [6] [7] [8]

120 marker proteins based GTDB 09-RS220 [9] [10] [11]
