Flavobacteriaceae is a family of rod-shaped gram negative bacteria. The family contains many environmental bacteria, ^{[1] [2]} with some species being potential pathogens. ^[3]

History

The family of Flavobacteriaceae was first proposed by Reichenbach in 1989, ^[1] it was approved by the IJSEM in 1992. ^[4] The description of the family was emended several times in 1996 and 2002. ^{[4] [3] [ citation needed ]} In 2020, the family was split, with several genera moved to the newly established family of Weeksellaceae . ^[5]

Biology

Species of the Flavobacteriaceae are predominantly rod-shaped and stain gram-negative. ^[3] Many species in the Flavobacteriaceae are motile, ^[5] with most non-motile species formerly placed in the family now being placed in the Weeksellaceae . ^[5] Most species are aerobic, while some are microaerobic to anaerobic; for example Capnocytophaga and Coenonia . ^[6] Several members of the family are considered halophilic or psychrotolerant. ^[3] The predominant respiratory quinone is menaquinone-6. ^[3]

The majority of species of this family are known from a variety of environmental sources. ^[3] Select species have occurred as pathogens in humans, with more genera, notably Elizabethkingia , being formerly placed in this family.
