Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
Includes species with a mostly rod-like to filamentous morphology. Cells are non-motile or move by gliding and normally contain carotenoid pigments. Strictly aerobic or facultatively anaerobic (fermentative) chemoheterotrophic metabolism. Species can have complex growth requirements requiring sea-water salts, organic compounds as sole nitrogen sources, yeast extract and vitamins for growth. The type genus is Cryomorpha. Also contains the genera Brumimicrobium and Crocinitomix. Located within class Flavobacteria, branching phylogenetically between the families Flavobacteriaceae and Bacteroidaceae.
