Abstract

The phylogenetic position of Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria, representing four different genera, was determined by analysis of their 16S rDNA sequences. and are members of the -subclass of the class . While stands phylogenetically isolated, is moderately related to members of the genus . and are members of the -subclass of the class in which they, together with members of the genus and , form a separate line of descent. This phylogenetic group is described as fam. nov.
