Methylomirabilaceae is a family of bacteria,[2] represented by type genus Ca. Methylomirabilis. Represented most famously by the novel methane-oxidizing bacterium Ca. Methylomirabilis oxyfera,[3] which appears to split oxygen from nitrates, it contains several other genera not yet described.

Domain: Bacteria
Phylum: Methylomirabilota
Class: Methylomirabilia
Order: Methylomirabilales
Family: Methylomirabilaceae
Chuvochina et al. 2023[1]

SILVA 138.1[3][4] lists 6 uncultured genera currently within the family:

  • Candidatus Methylomirabilis
  • MIZ14
  • MIZ17
  • SH765B-TzT-35
  • wb1-A12
  • Z114MB74

These genera are consistently described in methane-rich environments,[5][6][7] but only species within Candidatus Methylomirabilis are confidently described as methane-oxidizers.
