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