The Rhodospirillales are an order of Pseudomonadota.^[1]

Notable Families

The Acetobacteraceae comprise the acetic acid bacteria, which are heterotrophic and produce acetic acid during their respiration.^[2]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN).^[1] The phylogeny is based on whole-genome analysis.^[3]^[a]
