Draft:Zoogloeaceae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Zoogloeaceae is a family of bacteria in the order Rhodocyclales. In 2017, Boden et al. proposed the creation of Zoogloeaceae and Azonexaceae to harmonize the taxonomy with 16S rRNA gene-based phylogeny as well as physiology.[1][2] The type genus, from whence the name is derived, is Zoogloea. In 2021, Huang et al. added four new genera to the family.[3] At present, the family comprises 13 genera,[4] with 44 sequenced genomes and 73 representative 16S rRNA gene sequences.[5]

Zoogloeaceae are characterized by a rod shape and one or more flagella.[1] They are metabolically diverse and are implicated in nitrogen cycling.[1]
