Mahella australiensis Bonilla Salinas et al. 2004 is the type species of the genus Mahella, which belongs to the family Thermoanaerobacteraceae. The species is of interest because it differs from other known anaerobic spore-forming bacteria in its G+C content, and in certain phenotypic traits, such as carbon source utilization and relationship to temperature. Moreover, it has been discussed that this species might be an indigenous member of petroleum and oil reservoirs. This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the genus Mahella and the ninth completed type strain genome sequence from the family Thermoanaerobacteraceae. The 3,135,972 bp long genome with its 2,974 protein-coding and 59 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
澳大利亚马氏菌（Mahella australiensis）博尼利亚·萨利纳斯等人于2004年发现，是马氏菌属的模式种，属于嗜热厌氧菌科。该物种之所以受到关注，是因为其鸟嘌呤与胞嘧啶（G+C）含量以及某些表型特征，如碳源利用和与温度的关系，与其他已知的厌氧产芽孢细菌不同。此外，有人认为该物种可能是石油和油藏的本土成员。这是马氏菌属成员的首个完整基因组序列，也是嗜热厌氧菌科的第九个完整模式菌株基因组序列。这个长度为3,135,972碱基对的基因组，包含2,974个蛋白质编码基因和59个RNA基因，是细菌和古菌基因组百科全书项目的一部分。
