Species | |
|
Moorella is a genus of bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacillota.[2]
These bacteria are
thermophilic, anaerobic and endospore-forming and many species of this genus have been isolated from hot springs
.
Some of these species were formerly included within the genus W.E.C. Moore.[2]
Phylogeny
The current
phylogeny of these bacteria has been inferred from a computational analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA genes of described species belonging to the Moorella Group (a larger group of bacteria within the family Thermoanaerobacteraceae that also includes other species actually not belonging to genus Moorella). The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[3]
16S rRNA based | 120 marker proteins based GTDB 08-RS214.[7][8][9] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
