Family of bacteria
Methylomirabilaceae is a family of bacteria, represented by type genus "Ca. Methylomirabilis." Represented most famously by the novel methane-oxidizing bacterium "Ca. Methylomirabilis oxyfera", which appears to split oxygen from nitrates, it contains several other genera not yet described.
SILVA 138.1 lists 6 uncultured genera currently within the family:
These genera are consistently described in methane-rich environments, but only species within "Candidatus Methylomirabilis" are confidently described as methane-oxidizers.
