Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The type class is Calditrichae. The phylum-level lineage was already mentioned in the original description of the genus Caldithrix and was based on 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis of C. abyssi, one environmental clone and representatives of other phyla. Here, the phylum Calditrichaeota is introduced based on the phylogenetic analysis of 38 universally conserved single-copy proteins present in Bacteria and Archaea. Currently, the phylum is represented by the class Calditrichae, the order Calditrichales, the family Calditrichaceae, and the genus Caldithrix.
