Halorubraceae
''Halorubraceae'' is a family of halophilic, chemoorganotrophic or heterotrophic archaea within the order '' Haloferacales.'' The type genus of this family is ''Halorubrum''. Its biochemical characteristics are the same as the order '' Haloferacales.'' The name ''Halorubraceae'' is derived from the Latin term ''Halorubrum,'' referring to the type genus of the family and the suffix "-ceae," an ending used to denote a family. Together, ''Halorubraceae'' refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus ''Halorubrum.'' Current taxonomy and molecular signatures As of 2021, ''Halorubraceae'' contains nine validly published genera. This family can be distinguished from other Halobacteria by the presence of four conserved signature proteins (CSPs). Phylogeny The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Haloferacales
''Haloferacales'' is an order of halophilic, chemoorganotrophic or heterotrophic archaea within the class Haloarchaea. The type genus of this order is ''Haloferax.'' The name ''Haloferacales'' is derived from the Latin term ''Haloferax,'' referring to the type genus of the order and the suffix "-ales," an ending used to denote an order. Together, ''Haloferacales'' refers to an order whose nomenclatural type is the genus ''Haloferax.'' Biochemical characteristics and molecular signatures Members are halophiles and can be chemoorganotrophs or heterotrophs and are isolated from high-salt environments such as marine solar salterns and the Dead Sea. Some members are motile and contain gas vesicles. Morphology is variable, including rod, coccus or flat square shapes. Members of this order grow optimally in neutral pH. The DNA G+C content for this order ranges between 55-66 mol%. This order can be reliably distinguished from other Halobacteria by the presence of five conserved signat ...
