Vulgatibacteraceae is a monotypic family of bacteria in the order Myxococcales, containing one species in one genus; Vulgatibacter incomptus. [1] [2] The bacteria were first isolated from soil samples from Yakushima in 2014. The bacteria of this family are motile rods, and, like all myxococcota, are gram-negative. The one species, Vulgatibacter incomptus (initially designated strain B00001T) is believed to be most closely related to the species Cystobacter armeniaca and Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans. [3]
