Three families will be here discussed, Conexibacteraceae, Patulibacteraceae, and Solirubrobacteraceae, which are members of the order Solirubrobacterales together in this chapter. Members of this order are Gram-positive, mesophilic, and the peptidoglycan contains meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-Dpm) as diagnostic diamino acid. The pattern of 16S rRNA signatures consist of nucleotides at positions 63: 104 (G-C), 70: 98 (G-C), 370: 391 (C-G), 580: 776 (U-A), 657: 749 (U-A), 670: 736 (A-U), 681: 709 (U-A), 941: 1342 (A-U), 953: 1228 (G-C), 954: 1226 (G-C), 1051: 1207 (G-C), 1118: 1155 (U-A) and 1311: 1326 (A-U). The three families of the order Solirubrobacterales are monogeneric: The family Conexibacteraceae contains two species, Conexibacter woesei and C. arvalis (Monciardini et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 53:569-576, 2003; Seki et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 53:2400-2404, 2012); the family Patulibacteraceae contains three species, Pautulibacter minatonensis, P. americanus, and P. ginsengiterrae (Kim et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 62:563-568, 2012; Takahashi et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 56:401-406, 2006; Reddy et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 59:87-94, 2009) and the family Solirubrobacteraceae comprises three species, Solirubrobacter pauli, S. soli and S. ginsenosidimutans (An et al., Int J Syst Bacteriol 61:2606-2609, 2011; Kim et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 57:1453-1455, 2007; Singleton et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 53:485-490, 2003). These organisms are phylogenetic neighbors of the families Gaiellaceae, Rubrobacteraceae, and Thermoleophilaceae (Albuquerque et al., Syst Appl Microbiol 34:595-599, 2011; Reddy and Garcia-Pichel, Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 59:87-94, 2009).
