Oxalobacteraceae

Janthinobacterium lividum on tryptone - yeast agar

The Oxalobacteraceae form a family of Burkholderiales. It includes seven genera and circumscribed purely molecular.

The species included are as Proteobacteria all Gram- negative and have different metabolic pathways: they are either strictly aerobic, strictly anaerobic or live as nitrogen fixers (eg some Telluria and Herbaspirillum species).

System

The Oxalobacteraceae were first described in 2006 by George M. Garrity, Julia A. Bell and Timothy Lilburn, based on surveys of 16S rRNA sequences. Type genus is already 1985 by Allison, Dawson, Mayberry and Foss first described genus Oxalobacter.
