The phylum Bacteroidota is composed of three large classes of Gram-negative, nonsporeforming, anaerobic or aerobic, and rod-shaped bacteria that are widely distributed in the environment, including in soil, sediments, and sea water, as well as in the guts and on the skin of animals.

Bacteroidales is an order of bacteria. Notably it includes the genera Prevotella and Bacteroides, which are commonly found in the human gut microbiota.

Prevotellaceae is a family of bacteria from the order Bacteroidales. As a member of the phylum Bacteroidota, its species are gram negative – meaning their outer cell wall contains lipopolysaccharides. Since they are anaerobes, members of Prevotellaceae can live in areas where there is little to no oxygen – such as the guts of mammals.

Sphingobacteriia is a taxonomic class composed of a single order of environmental bacteria that are capable of producing sphingolipids. The earlier name Sphingibacteria was changed in 2011.
