Methanomicrobia

In the taxonomy of microorganisms, the Methanomicrobia are a class of the Euryarchaeota.[1]

Methanomicrobia
Methanosarcina barkeri fusaro
Scientific classification
Domain:	Archaea
Kingdom:	Euryarchaeota
Phylum:	Euryarchaeota
Class:	Methanomicrobia
Orders
Methanomassiliicoccus Methanomicrobiales Methanocalculus Methanolinea Methanoregula Methanocorpusculaceae Methanomicrobiaceae Methanospirillaceae Methanosarcinales Methanosaetaceae Methanosarcinaceae Methermicoccaceae Methanocellales Methanocellaceae

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[3] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project.[4]
