Abstract
Ha.lo.plas.ma.ta’les. N.L. n. Haloplasma, type genus of
the family; suff. -ales, ending denoting an order; N.L.
fem. pl. n. Haloplasmatales, the Haloplasma order.
The order Haloplasmatales was circumscribed on
the basis of phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene
sequences. The order currently includes only the
family Haloplasmataceae and its single genus Haloplasma.
It is composed of Gram-negative staining,
wall-less, non-spore-forming, pleomorphic cells. Strictly
anaerobic. Strictly organotrophic. Denitrifying and
fermentative. MK-4 is the major respiratory quinone.
Otherwise, the description of the order is the same
as for the family Haloplasmataceae.
Type genus: Haloplasma Antunes, Rainey, da Costa
and Huber 2008a, 2476VP (Effective publication:
Antunes, Rainey, Wanner, Taborda, Pätzold, Nobre, da
Costa and Huber 2008b, 3586).
