The Opitutaceae are a Gram-negative and chemoheterotrophic order of the domain Bacteria. ^{[2] [3] [4]} Opitutaceae bacteria were isolated from soil and coastal marine springs. ^[4]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) ^[2] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). ^[5]

16S rRNA based LTP_10_2024 [6] [7] [8]

120 marker proteins based GTDB 10-RS226 [9] [10] [11]
