Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'order' as a taxonomic grouping combined with the proper name 'Pseudomonadales' denotes the named biological order. This follows standard cross-linguistic taxonomic naming patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
The name order Pseudomonadales comes from the genus Pseudomonas plus the group ending -ales. The word Pseudomonas is made of Greek parts pseudo meaning 'false' and monas meaning 'single', a name early scientists used for tiny one-celled bacteria. The ending -ales shows it is a larger group, so the whole name means a group of related bacteria.
