The order Jiangellales

Abstract

The order Jiangellales was created by elevation of suborder Jiangellineae of Tang et al. (Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 61:194-200, 2011), mainly based on signature nucleotide patterns and phylogenetic criteria (Tang et al. The order Jiangellineae. In: Whitman WB, Goodfellow M, Kämpfer P, Busse H-J, Trujillo M, Garrity G, Ludwig W, Suzuki K-I (eds) Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology, vol 5, 2nd edn. Springer, New York, p 555, 2012). The order contains the sole suborder Jiangellineae. As such, their members are Gram-positive, aerobic, halophilic, or nonhalophilic filamentous actinomycetes. Jiangellineae contains the family Jiangellaceae, which embraces the genera Haloactinopolyspora and Jiangella, and for which one and four species each, have been described.
