Order of archaea


Quick Facts Scientific classification, Families ...

Methanobacteriales is an order of archaeans in the class Methanobacteria.[1] 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.[2] 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.[2]

Phylogeny

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).[1]

16S rRNA based LTP_06_2022[4][5][6] 53 marker proteins based GTDB 08-RS214[7][8][9]
