Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Order Methylaequorales [Me.thy.lae.quo.ra'les] N.L. neut. n. Methylaequor, the type genus of the order; -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Methylaequorales, the Methylaequor order
Uncultivated bacteria in the order Methylaequorales (previously GTDB o__TMED127) have small, streamlined genomes (~1.5 Mb) and appear to be obligate lanthanide-dependent methylotrophs that use the serine cycle for carbon assimilation.
Alphaproteobacteria Methylaequor seqco.de/i:51452
Family Methylaequoraceae [Me.thy.lae.quo.ra'ce.ae] N.L. neut. n. Methylaequor, the type genus of the family; -aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Methylaequoraceae, the Methylaequor family
Uncultivated bacteria in the order Methylaequorales (previously GTDB o__TMED127) and family Methylaequoraceae (previously GTDB f__TMED127) have small, streamlined genomes (~1.5 Mb) and appear to be obligate lanthanide-dependent methylotrophs that use the serine cycle for carbon assimilation.
Methylaequorales Methylaequor seqco.de/i:51451
Genus Methylaequor [Me.thyl.ae'quor] N.L. neut. n. methyl, the methyl group; L. neut. n. aequor, surface of the sea; N.L. neut. n. Methylaequor, a methyl group-oxidizing organism of the sea surface
Uncultivated bacteria in the order Methylaequorales (previously GTDB o__TMED127) and family Methylaequoraceae (previously GTDB f__TMED127) have small, streamlined genomes (~1.5 Mb) and appear to be obligate lanthanide-dependent methylotrophs that use the serine cycle for carbon assimilation.
Methylaequoraceae Methylaequor ceniphilumTs seqco.de/i:51450
Species Methylaequor ceniphilumTs [ce.ni.phi'lum] L. fem. n. cena, the principal meal of the day in ancient Roman culture, originally taken in the afternoon; N.L. masc. adj. suff. -philus, loving; N.L. neut. adj. ceniphilum, late afternoon meal loving
Uncultivated bacteria in the order Methylaequorales (previously GTDB o__TMED127) and family Methylaequoraceae (previously GTDB f__TMED127) have small, streamlined genomes (~1.5 Mb) and appear to be obligate lanthanide-dependent methylotrophs that use the serine cycle for carbon assimilation. Methylaequor ceniphilum showed a diel pattern of lanthanide-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (xoxF5) and glucose dehydrogenase (gdh) transcription, peaking in the late afternoon, in oligotrophic surface water of the Sargasso Sea.
