Abstract

The unusually shaped bacteria of the genera , and have been described based on their cell morphology and biochemistry. However, their phylogenetic relationships remain unresolved. An earlier study that was based on 5S rRNA gene sequences placed the genus within the ‘’. In the present report, polar lipids and 16S rRNA genes of the type strains of the two species in the genus , DSM 5900 and DSM 5901, are studied, as well as the type strains of the monospecific genera ( VKM B-1479) and ( DSM 5895). It was found that the genus belongs to the order in the family , and not to the . Whilst the position of the genus in the family was confirmed, the genus could not be placed into any known family, but was adjacent to the family ‘’. In addition, data were obtained for strain VKM B-1336, which was shown not to belong to the genus , and strain NCIMB 1785 (=DSM 15561), for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.
