Abstract
Rhodobacterales are an order of the Alphaproteobacteria.See the NCBI webpage on Rhodobacterales. Data extracted from the Gene transfer agents are viruslike elements produced by Rhodobacterales which transfer DNA and may be an important factor in their evolution.
Etymology
From Greek rhodon, the rose, and bakterion, a rod. This refers to the colour of aerobic phototrophic cultures of this order of bacteria which can be pink or red due to the production of carotenoids.
