This class has the unusual phylogenetic position (according to phylogenomic and 16S rRNA studies) of branching within Mycoplasmatota, a phylum largely without peptidoglycan cell wall. Its ability to make a peptidoglycan and sporulate, combined with this position as well as Mycoplasmotota metagenomes with similar gene contents, imply that the Mycoplasmatotal lineages have independently reduced their cell walls.

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).
