Flavobacteria

Bacteria

Capnocytophaga is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Normally found in the oropharyngeal tract of mammals, they are involved in the pathogenesis of some animal bite wounds and periodontal diseases.

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

The order Flavobacteriales comprises several families of environmental bacteria.

The class Flavobacteriia is composed of a single class of environmental bacteria. It contains the family Flavobacteriaceae, which is the largest family in the phylum Bacteroidota.'''''' This class is widely distributed in soil, fresh, and seawater habitats. The name is often spelt Flavobacteria, but was officially named Flavobacteriia in 2012.

Algibacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).

Elizabethkingia is a genus of bacterium in the order of Flavobacteriales. It was established in 2005 from a branch in of the genus Chryseobacterium, and named after Elizabeth O. King, the discoverer of the type species. Elizabethkingia has been found in soil, rivers, and reservoirs worldwide. The genus contains several pathogenic species, such as E. meningoseptica and E. anophelis.

Polaribacter is a genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae. They are gram-negative, aerobic bacteria that can be heterotrophic, psychrophilic or mesophilic. Most species are non-motile and species range from ovoid to rod-shaped. Polaribacter forms yellow- to orange-pigmented colonies. They have been mostly adapted to cool marine ecosystems, and their optimal growth range is at a temperature between 10 and 32 °C and at a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. They are oxidase and catalase-positive and are able to grow using carbohydrates, amino acids, and organic acids.

Arenibacter is a rod-shaped and strictly aerobic genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Aquimarina is a strictly aerobic and halophilic bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae. Aquimarina can cause diseases in marine eukaryotes.

Dokdonia is a genus of bacteria in the family Flavobacteriaceae and phylum Bacteroidota.

Bizionia is a strictly aerobic genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae which produce carotenoids. Bizionia is named after Bartolomeo Bizio.

Weeksellaceae is a family in the order Flavobacteriales. It was proposed to be split from the Flavobacteriaceae in 2019, based on phylogenetic analysis.

Muricauda is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota.

Aequorivita is a Gram-negative and strictly aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Psychroflexus is a psychrophilic bacteria genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Coenonia is a genus of bacteria. Up to now there is only one species of this genus known: Coenonia anatina.

Actibacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria). The genus contains a single species, namely A. sediminis.

Cellulophaga is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae which occur in marine alga and beach mud. Cellulophaga species produce zeaxanthin.

Cryomorphaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Flavobacteriales which occur in marine habitats.

Leeuwenhoekiella is a strictly aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.

Bergeyella is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming and non-motile genus from the family of Weeksellaceae.

Tenacibaculum is a gram-negative and motile bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.
