Hydrogenophilus[1]

Tepidiphilus[1]

The Hydrogenophilaceae are a family of the class

Gram-negative. All known species are thermophilic, growing around 50 °C, and use molecular hydrogen or organic molecules as their source of electrons to support growth; some species are autotrophs
.

The genus

Hydrogenophilus
exist and were present in the ice.

Hydrogenophilalia

The class Hydrogenophilalia in the Bacteria was circumscribed in 2017 when it was demonstrated that the order Hydrogenophilales was distinct from the Betaproteobacteria on the basis of physiology, biochemistry, fatty acid profiles, and phylogenetic analyses on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene and 53 ribosomal protein sequences concatenated using the rMLST platform for multilocus sequence typing.[2]

The class comprises one order, the

menaquinones or rhodoquinones are not observed, though they are in the neighbouring Betaproteobacteria.[2]
