Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Phylum Sumerlaeota [Su.mer.lae.o'ta] N.L. fem. n. Sumerlaea, referring to the type genus Sumerlaea; -ota, ending to denote a phylum; N.L. neut. pl. n. Sumerlaeota, the Sumerlaea phylum
The phylum Sumerlaeota is defined on a phylogenetic basis by comparative 16S rRNA and genome sequence analysis of Sumerlaea chitinivorans BY40,Candidate division BRC1 bacterium HGW-BRC1-1, BRC1 bacterium SCGC AAA252-M09, BRC1 bacterium SCGC AAA257-C1, candidate division BRC1 bacterium SM23 51, and multiple uncultured representatives, inclusive of the formerly identified candidate division BRC1. 
Bacteria Sumerlaea seqco.de/i:42441
Class Sumerlaeia [Su.mer.lae'i.a] N.L. fem. n. Sumerlaea, referring to the type genus Sumerlaea; -ia, ending to denote a class; N.L. neut. pl. n. Sumerlaeia, the Sumerlaea class
The description is the same as that for the family Sumerlaeaceae.
Sumerlaeota Sumerlaea seqco.de/i:42442
Order Sumerlaeales [Su.mer.lae.a'les] N.L. fem. n. Sumerlaea, referring to the type genus Sumerlaea; -ales, ending to denote an order; N.L. fem. pl. n. Sumerlaeales, the Sumerlaea order
The description is the same as that for the family Sumerlaeaceae. The type genus is Sumerlaea.
Sumerlaeia Sumerlaea seqco.de/i:42443
