Phylogeny

Pelagicoccus enzymogenes. Shape and ultrastructure of cells of strain NFK12T. Cells were grown in MB at 33°C for 2 days. (A) Transmission electron microscopy. Arrows in panel a indicate ‘capsular’ EPS around the cells. Scale bar, 0.5 μm. (B) Scanning electron microscopy. Arrows indicate randomly distributed finger-like extensions from which fimbriae appendages. Scale bar, 1.0 μm. (C) Scanning electron microscopy. Arrows indicate ‘bridge’ extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). Scale bar, 5.0 μm.

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). ^[6]
