Description and emendation
Original Description
expand / minimize
The description is the same as that for the genus Egicoccus. Separation of these organisms within a new order is justified by their distinct phyletic lineage based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The pattern of 16S rRNA gene sequence signature nucleotides of members of the order is as for the family Egicoccaceae. The order contains the family Egicoccaceae.
