The Bacteroidaceae are a family of environmental gram-negative bacteria commonly found in the human gut microbiota. [4]
The Pasteurellaceae comprise a large family of Gram-negative bacteria. Most members live as commensals on mucosal surfaces of birds and mammals, especially in the upper respiratory tract. Pasteurellaceae are typically rod-shaped, and are a notable group of facultative anaerobes. Their biochemical characteristics can be distinguished from the related Enterobacteriaceae by the presence of oxidase, and from most other similar bacteria by the absence of flagella.
The Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a family of purple sulfur bacteria, distinguished by producing sulfur globules outside of their cells. The cells are rod-shaped, vibrioid, or spirilla, and they are able to move using flagella. In general, they are marine and prefer anaerobic conditions. Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a vibrio bacteria that require salty living conditions to survive and grow: classifying them as slightly halophilic. Like all purple sulfur bacteria, they are capable of photosynthesis. To complete this energy process, Sulfur compounds are used as electron donors for carbon fixation in the pentose phosphate pathway. This elemental sulfur accumulates outside of the cells.
Aureimonas is a genus of marine bacteria from the family of Aurantimonadaceae.
The Lachnospiraceae are a family of obligately anaerobic, variably spore-forming bacteria in the order Eubacteriales that ferment diverse plant polysaccharides to short-chain fatty acids and alcohols (ethanol). These bacteria are among the most abundant taxa in the rumen and the human gut microbiota. Members of this family may protect against colon cancer in humans by producing butyric acid. Lachnospiraceae have been found to contribute to diabetes in genetically susceptible (ob/ob) germ-free mice.
Shimia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Rhodobacteraceae.
Ignatzschineria is a genus of bacteria from the class Gammaproteobacteria. Ignatzschineria is named after Ignaz Rudolph Schiner.
Marinifilum is a genus of bacteria from the family of Marinifilaceae.
Thermanaerovibrio is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming chemoorganotrophic and thermophilic genus of bacteria from the family of Synergistaceae.
Idiomarinaceae is a Gram-negative and mesophilic family in the order of Alteromonadales. Bacteria of the family Idiomarinaceae occur in saline environments.
Ferrimonas is a genus of bacteria from the family of Ferrimonadaceae.
Paraglaciecola is a genus of bacteria from the family Alteromonadaceae.
Edaphobaculum is a genus of bacteria from the family of Chitinophagaceae.
Niabella is a genus of bacteria from the family of Chitinophagaceae.
Taibaiella is a genus of bacteria from the family of Chitinophagaceae.
Rheinheimera is a genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae. Rheinheimera is named after the German microbiologist Gerhard Rheinheimer.
Sunxiuqinia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Prolixibacteraceae.
Grimontia is a genus of bacteria from the family of Vibrionaceae.
Oleiharenicola is a genus of bacteria from the family of Opitutaceae.
Euzebyella is a genus of bacteria from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.
Hyunsoonleella is a genus of bacteria from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.
