Abstract
An.ae.ro.li.ne.a'les. N.L. fem. n. Anaerolinea type genus of the order; -ales ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Anaerolineales order of the genus Anaerolinea.
Chloroflexi / Anaerolineae / Anaerolineales
Cells are strictly anaerobic chemoheterotrophs that stain Gram-negative. All described species are nonmotile, nonspore-forming, and filamentous. The order Anaerolineales is circumscribed herein on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The order forms a phylogenetically coherent cluster and contains the sole family Anaerolineaceae. Phylogenetic relevance of the members and detailed description is the same as for the family Anaerolineaceae.
DNA G + C content (mol%): 42.1–59.9 (HPLC).
Type genus: Anaerolinea Sekiguchi, Yamada, Hanada, Ohashi, Harada and Kamagata 2003, 1848VP.
