Eggerthellales Gupta et al. 2013
General information
Description and emendation
The order contains the family Eggerthellaceae. The species from this order are asaccharolytic rods or cocci. They do not from spores. All members except members of the genus Gordonibacter do not form flagella. Organisms within the order are strictly anaerobic. The DNA G+C content for members of the order ranges from 50 mol% to 67 mol%. The species from this order form a distinct clade in phylogenetic trees, and they are distinguished from all other members of the class Coriobacteriia by the conserved signature indels described in this report in the following proteins: translation elongation factor Tu, adenylosuccinate synthase, methionine-tRNA ligase, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, tRNA-guanine transglycosylase, excinuclease ABC subunit C, ATP synthase F1, putative permease yhhT and RNA polymerase subunit α.
