The family Flavobacteriaceae is composed of environmental bacteria. [1] [2] Most species are aerobic, while some are microaerobic to anaerobic; for example Capnocytophaga and Coenonia . [3]
The family Flavobacteriaceae comprises the following genera: [4]
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. [6] [lower-alpha 1]

The Hyphomicrobiales are an order of Gram-negative Alphaproteobacteria.
The Rhodobacteraceae are a family of Pseudomonadota in the order Rhodobacterales within the alpha subgroup. Like all Pseudomonadota, they are gram-negative. It contains chemoorganotrophs and photoheterotrophs bacteria. Many occur in aquatic habitats.
Paracoccus is a genus of bacteria in the family Rhodobacteraceae.
Novosphingobium is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that includes N. taihuense, which can degrade aromatic compounds such as phenol, aniline, nitrobenzene and phenanthrene. The species N. aromativorans, which was first found in Ulsan Bay, similarly degrades aromatic molecules of two to five rings.
The Chloroflexota are a phylum of bacteria containing isolates with a diversity of phenotypes, including members that are aerobic thermophiles, which use oxygen and grow well in high temperatures; anoxygenic phototrophs, which use light for photosynthesis ; and anaerobic halorespirers, which uses halogenated organics as electron acceptors.
Microbacterium is a genus of bacteria in the family Microbacteriaceae. Microbacteria are common contaminants of laboratory reagents, which can lead to their being misrepresented in microbiome data.
Chryseobacterium is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Chryseobacterium species are chemoorganotrophic, rod shape gram-negative bacteria. Chryseobacterium form typical yellow-orange color colonies due to flexirubin-type pigment. The genus contains more than 100 described species from diverse habitats, including freshwater sources, soil, marine fish, and human hosts.
Algoriphagus is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
Maribacter is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota.
Nocardioides is a Gram-positive, mesophilic and aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Nocardioidaceae.
Roseivirga is a strictly aerobic genus from the phylum Bacteroidota.
Leeuwenhoekiella is a strictly aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.
Pontibacter is a strictly aerobic bacterial genus from the family of Cytophagaceae.
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.
Mariniflexile is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria). The various species have been recovered from sea water, sea urchins, springs, brackish water, and an oyster.
Pibocella is a Gram-negative heterotrophic and aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Flavobacteriaceae with one known species Pibocella ponti. Pibocella ponti has been isolated from the alga Acrosiphonia sonderi.
Sediminicola is a Gram-negative and aerobic genus of bacteria from the family of Flavobacteriaceae.
Winogradskyella is a genus of bacteria from the family Flavobacteriaceae. Winogradskyella is named after the Russian microbiologist Sergei Winogradsky.
Hanstruepera neustonica is a Gram-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming and non-motile bacterium from the genus of Hanstruepera.
