Sign in to saveRikenellaceae is a family of Gram-negative bacteria described by Noel R. Krieg in 2015. It contains nine genera, five of which are validly published by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Bacteria with 16S ribosomal RNA highly similar to the Rikenella genus, as compared to the larger taxonomic order Bacteroidales, are classified in this family.

Rikenellaceae is a family of Gram-negative bacteria described by Noel R. Krieg in 2015. It contains nine genera, five of which are validly published by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Bacteria with 16S ribosomal RNA highly similar to the Rikenella genus, as compared to the larger taxonomic order Bacteroidales, are classified in this family.
This family consists of non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria that are tolerant of bile. Most Rikenellaceae species have been identified in the gastrointestinal tract microbiomes of various animals.
