Zoogloeaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Rhodocyclales. In 2017, Boden et al. proposed the creation of Zoogloeaceae and Azonexaceae to harmonize the taxonomy with 16S rRNA gene-based phylogeny as well as physiology. [2] [3] The type genus, from whence the name is derived, is Zoogloea. In 2021, Huang et al. added four new genera to the family. [4] At present, the family comprises 13 genera, [1] with 44 sequenced genomes and 73 representative 16S rRNA gene sequences. [5]

Zoogloeaceae is characterized by a rod shape and one or more flagella. [2] Species are metabolically diverse and are implicated in nitrogen cycling. [2]
