Campylobacterales

The Campylobacterales are an order of Proteobacteria which make up the epsilon subdivision, together with the small family Nautiliaceae. Like all Proteobacteria, they are Gram-negative. Most of the species are microaerophilic.[1]

Molecular signatures

Comparative genomic analysis has led to the identification of 49 proteins which are uniquely found in virtually all species of the order Campylobacterales. Additionally, two conserved signature indels have been identified which, along with the proteins, serve as molecular markers for the order. The indels are a three-amino-acid insertion in the B protein of the Uvr ABC system, and a two-amino-acid deletion in phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase.[2]

gollark: What, providing services people are willing to pay for? Ridiculous. And I would need to do payment processing, which would require legal stuff, and making my servers/data actually secure, and it would be annoying.
gollark: Well, that is also worrying, but I really just wanted to take people's money to pay for osmarks.tk hosting and stuff, so meh.
gollark: Interesting. I will add it to the osmarks.tk random facts database.
gollark: So I can take people's money and it's totally legal as long as they don't "physically resist"?
gollark: It is a multiple of 100.
