Chloroflexi Garrity and Holt 2001
General information
Description and emendation
The phylum Chloroflexi is a deep branching lineage of Bacteria. The single class within Chloroflexi subdivides into two orders: the 'Chloroflexales' and the 'Herpetosiphonales'. Gram-negative, filamentous Bacteria exhibiting gliding motility. Peptidoglycan contains L-ornithine as the diamino acid. Lipopolysaccharide-containing outer membrane not present.
1: The phylum Chloroflexi is a deep-branching lineage of the Bacteria. On the basis of comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of isolates and environmental clones, the phylum can be divided into at least five major subdivisions, including the classes Chloroflexi and Thermomicrobia. Mostly Gram-negative, filamentous bacteria with unusual cell envelopes. No peptidoglycan or atypical peptidoglycan present in cell walls. Lipopolysaccharide-containing outer membrane not present in studied representatives.
