Taxonomy

Description
Montagna et al (2013): The new family encompasses bacteria associated with a wide range of hosts, from protists to vertebrates, including humans; all of the members of this family that have so far been investigated by transmission electron microscopy have been shown to be intracellular, with a typical Gram-negative cell wall.

Note: This group is sometimes referred to as MALO (midichloria and like organisms).

Note: The following addendum in proof appeared in Montagna et al (2013): On the same day this study was accepted for publication, an advanced online publication presented data on a novel bacterium phylogenetically related to “Ca. M. mitochondrii” (T. Driscoll et al., Genome Biol. Evol. doi:10.1093/gbe/evt036, 2013) and referred to this species and related organisms as “Midichloriaceae,” following a previous informal proposal to rank this bacterial group at the family level, discussed in a recent book chapter (J. J. Gillespie, E. Nordberg, A. F. Azad, and B. W. Sobral, p. 84–141, in A. F. Azad and G. H. Palmer, ed., Intracellular pathogens II: Rickettsiales, 2012).

Note: Similarly, a note was added in proof to Driscoll et al (2013): During the production of this work, a recent publication (Montagna et al. 2013) formally classified a novel Rickettsiales family, Candidatus Midichloriaceae, for which the Rickettsiales endosymbiont of Trichoplax adhaerens is a member.
