Scientific classification
Domain: Bacteria
Phylum: Proteobacteria
Class: Alphaproteobacteria

In taxonomy, the Rhodobacterales are an order of the Alphaproteobacteria.[1]

Gene transfer agents are viruslike elements produced by Rhodobacterales which transfer DNA and may be an important factor in their evolution.[2]
