Family of bacteria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Remove ads
Methylomirabilaceae is a family of bacteria,[2] represented by type genus Ca. Methylomirabilis. Represented most famously by the novel methane-oxidizing bacterium Ca. Methylomirabilis oxyfera,[3] which appears to split oxygen from nitrates, it contains several other genera not yet described.
SILVA 138.1[3][4] lists 6 uncultured genera currently within the family:
- Candidatus Methylomirabilis
- MIZ14
- MIZ17
- SH765B-TzT-35
- wb1-A12
- Z114MB74
These genera are consistently described in methane-rich environments,[5][6][7] but only species within Candidatus Methylomirabilis are confidently described as methane-oxidizers.
