Chloroflexi
Chloroflexi is one of six classes of bacteria in the phylum Chloroflexi, known as filamentous green non-sulfur bacteria. They produce energy from light and are named for their green pigment, usually found in photosynthetic bodies called chlorosomes. Chloroflexi are typically filamentous, and can move about through bacterial gliding. They are facultatively aerobic, but do not produce oxygen in the process of producing energy from light, or phototrophy. Additionally Chloroflexi have a different method of phototrophy than true photosynthetic bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that they had a separate origin. Whereas most Bacteria, in terms of diversity, are diderms and stain Gram negative with the exception of the Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and the Deinococcus-Thermus group, the members of the phylum Chloroflexi are monoderms and stain mostly Gram negative.
