Original Description
expand / minimize
The pattern of 16S rDNA signatures consists of nucleotides at positions 122-239(G-U), 128-233 (C-G), 450-483 (C-G), 602-636 (G-C), 681-709 (C-G), 688-699 (A-U), 823-877 (A-U), 1118-1155 (C-G), and 1311-1326 (A-U). The family contains the type genus Bifidobacterium as well as Gardnerella (57). A phylogenetic structure of the family has been published previously.
Emendation
Emendation 1
1: The family contains the type genus Bifidobacterium, as well as the genera Aeriscardovia, Alloscardovia, Gardnerella, Parascardovia and Scardovia. The 16S rRNA nucleotide signature is as that of the order.
