Methanomicrobiales

Methanomicrobiales
Scientific classification
Domain:	Archaea
Kingdom:	Euryarchaeota
Class:	Methanomicrobia
Order:	Methanomicrobiales Balch and Wolfe 1981
Families
Methanocalculaceae Methanocorpusculaceae Methanoculleaceae Methanospirillaceae Methanomicrobiaceae Methanoregulaceae Methanosphaerulaceae

In the taxonomy of microorganisms, the Methanomicrobiales are an order of the Methanomicrobia.[1] Methanomicrobiales are strictly carbon dioxide reducing methanogens, using hydrogen or formate as the reducing agent.[2] As seen from the phylogenetic tree based on 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project the family Methanomicrobiaceae is highly polyphyletic within the Methanomicrobiales.

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]
