Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The class is defined on the basis of a phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences of a single isolated strain and uncultured representatives from various environments.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: The class is described on the basis of a phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences presented by Nakai et al. 2014, and additionally includes the monophyletic lineage formed by 'Spirobacillus cienkowskii' (accession number of the 16S rRNA gene sequence EU220836) and related cultured and uncultured bacteria. Includes the orders Oligoflexales, Bdellovibrionales , Bacteriovoracales and Silvanigrellales.
