The Myxococcota are a phylum of bacteria known as the fruiting gliding bacteria. ^[4] All species of this group are Gram-negative. They are predominantly aerobic genera that release myxospores in unfavorable environments.

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[5] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[6]
