Genus
  • "Ca. Methylomirabilis"

Methylomirabilaceae is a family of bacteria, represented by type genus Ca. Methylomirabilis. Represented most famously by the novel methane-oxidizing bacterium Ca. Methylomirabilis oxyfera, which appears to split oxygen from nitrates, it contains several other genera not yet described.

SILVA 138.1 lists 6 uncultured genera currently within the family:

These genera are consistently described in methane-rich environments, but only species within Candidatus Methylomirabilis are confidently described as methane-oxidizers.

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
