The Comamonadaceae are a family of the Betaproteobacteria. Like all Pseudomonadota, they are Gram-negative. They are aerobic and most of the species are motile via flagella. The cells are curved rod-shaped.

The Alteromonadales are an order of Pseudomonadota. Although they have been treated as a single family, the Alteromonadaceae, they were divided into eight by Ivanova et al. in 2004. The cells are straight or curved rods. They are motile by the use of a single flagellum. Most of the species are marine.

Oceanospirillaceae is a family of Pseudomonadota. Most genera in this family live in environments with high concentrations of salt; they are halotolerant or halophilic. They are marine, except Balneatrix which is found in fresh water and Venatorbacter, which is from terrestrial origin.All members are strictly aerobic, except Neptunomonas which can perform fermentation reactions.

The Sporolactobacillaceae are a family of Gram-positive bacteria including the genera Sinobaca, Sporolactobacillus, and Tuberibacillus.

Microvirga is a genus of bacteria from the family of Methylobacteriaceae.

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.

Basilea psittacipulmonis is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus Basile which has been isolated from the lung of the parakeet Melopsittacus undulatus in Basel in Switzerland. Since 1929, the study of parakeet respiratory infection has had crucial implications for biomedical research. The genome of a bacterium isolated from the lungs of a dead parakeet in captivity was sequenced using Illumina dye sequencing. The Basilea psittacipulmonis’ nearly complete genome sequence is obtained through the assembly of short sequence reads. Bacterial species identified by rpoB gene sequences were nucleotides. Comparison of gene sequences revealed that the most similar species is Pelisega europaea. Its growth temperature is between 30-37 degrees celsius.

Gaiella occulta is a rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium from the genus Gaiella which has been isolated from deep mineral water in Portugal.
