  • 🚃 The type genus of this order has alternatively been placed in the order "Thermoanaerobacterales". Publication: Salinas MB, Fardeau ML, Thomas P, Cayol JL, Patel BK, Ollivier B. Mahella australiensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately thermophilic anaerobic bacterium isolated from an Australian oil well. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2004; 54:2169-2173. 🇫🇷
  • ❗ Mahellales is the correct name instead if this order is regarded as a separate order (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another order whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
