Eggerthellaceae Gupta et al. 2013
General information
Description and emendation
The family contains the type genus Eggerthella and the genera Adlercreutzia, Asaccharobacter, Cryptobacterium, Denitrobacterium, Enterorhabdus, Gordonibacter, Paraeggerthella and Slackia. The species of this family are asaccharolytic rods or cocci. They do not form spores. All members except for members of the genus Gordonibacter do not form flagella. Organisms within the family are strictly anaerobic. The DNA G+C content for members of the family ranges from 50 mol% to 67 mol%. The species from this family form a distinct clade in phylogenetic trees. The conserved signature indels for the family are the same as that of the order.
1: The family includes obligatory anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, asporogenous, asaccharolytic organisms which form cocci and/or short rods. Cells may be motile or non-motile. The peptidoglycan contains DL-A2pm as the diamino acid, the predominant isoprenologue is MK-6; fatty acids are mainly saturated and unsaturated and common polar lipids are DPG and PG. The G+C content is around 55–65%.
