Flavobacteriaceae is a family of rod-shaped gram negative bacteria. The family contains many environmental bacteria,[1][2] with some species being potential pathogens.[3]

History

The family of Flavobacteriaceae was first proposed by Reichenbach in 1989,[1] it was approved by the IJSEM in 1992.[4] The description of the family was emended several times in 1996 and 2002.[4][3][citation needed] In 2020, the family was split, with several genera moved to the newly established family of Weeksellaceae.[5]

Biology

Species of the Flavobacteriaceae are predominantly rod-shaped and stain gram-negative.[3] Many species in the Flavobacteriaceae are motile,[5] with most non-motile species formerly placed in the family now being placed in the Weeksellaceae.[5] Most species are aerobic, while some are microaerobic to anaerobic; for example Capnocytophaga and Coenonia.[6] Several members of the family are considered halophilic or psychrotolerant.[3] The predominant respiratory quinone is menaquinone-6.[3] The majority of species of this family are known from a variety of environmental sources.[3] Select species have occurred as pathogens in humans, with more genera, notably Elizabethkingia, being formerly placed in this family.

Genera

The family Flavobacteriaceae comprises the following genera:[4]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature[4] and the phylogeny is based on whole-genome sequences.[5][lower-alpha 1]
