Register list for 7 new names including Methanoflorens stordalenmirensis sp. nov. gen. nov.

Submitted by Rodriguez-R, Luis M

Order Methanoflorentales

Etymology: [Me.tha.no.flo.ren.ta'les] N.L. masc. n. Methanoflorens, a genus; -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Methanoflorentales, the Methanoflorens order
Nomenclatural type: Genus Methanoflorens
Description: Woodcroft et al., 2018 (with modifications): The description is the same as given for the type genus Methanoflorens and the family Methanoflorentaceae Mondav et al. (2014) with the following modifications. The delineation of the order is determined by phylogenetic analyses showing that the Methanocellales would otherwise be paraphyletic. The order currently comprises two species M. stordalenmirensis and M. crillii. The type genus is Methanoflorens.

Methane producing organisms linked to be key mediators of methane-based positive feedback to climate warming. Represented by microbial population from permafrost. Previously known as the uncultivated lineage 'Rice Cluster II'
Classification: Archaea » Methanobacteriota » “Methanomicrobia” » Methanoflorentales

Nomenclatural type: NCBI Assembly: GCA_003139995.1 ^Ts
Description: Woodcroft et al., 2018: Phylogenetic analyses of genes/markers indicated that this species is different from all other recognized genera in the family Acidobacteriaceae.

Species Methanoflorens crillii

Etymology: [cril'li.i] N.L. gen. n. crillii, named after Patrick Crill, Stockholm University, Sweden, in recognition of his work on understanding of biogeochemical processes at the landscape scale (thawing permafrost) including greenhouse gases emission under the impact of climate change
Nomenclatural type: NCBI Assembly: GCA_003162175.1 ^Ts
Description: Woodcroft et al., 2018 (with modifications): The description is as provided by Mondav et al. (2014) for the genus with the following additional properties. The species can be differentiated from the recognized Methanoflorens stordalenmirensis on the basis of phylogenetic analyses showing them to be monophyletic and sufficiently distinct average amino acid identity between encoded proteins.
