Register list for 3 new names including Magnetaquicoccaceae fam. nov.

Submitted by Grouzdev, Denis

Family Magnetaquicoccaceae

Etymology: [Mag.ne.ta.qui.coc.ca'ce.ae] N.L. masc. n. Magnetaquicoccus, referring to the type genus Magnetaquicoccus; -aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Magnetaquicoccaceae, the Magnetaquicoccus family
Nomenclatural type: Genus Magnetaquicoccus
Description: Potential ability for chemolithoautotrophic growth with the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds through a reverse Dsr pathway (most enzymes from the Sox system are absent) and carbon assimilation by rTCA with the type II ATP:citrate lyase. The genes for dissimilatory nitrate/nitrite/nitric and nitrous oxide reduction enzymes were found, but not for the entire pathway, indicating that the pathway might be truncated at different steps, depending on the species. The potential ability for assimilation of nitrate by NasA, which is, in general, absent from other Magnetococcales, was predicted for two members of the family: Ca. Magnetaquicoccus inordinatus and WMHbinv6.
