The Flammeovirgaceae are a family of bacteria. They belong to the order Cytophagales in the Phylum Bacteroidetes . The type genus is Flammeovirga . The name is derived from the Latin adjective flammeus (fire-colored) and the Latin word virga , (chopsticks). It refers to the color of the colonies of these rod-shaped bacteria.

Appearance

The cells are straight or curved rods. They are not flagellated , but movement can be smooth in many species. The color of the colonies is pink, red, or orange. Most species need seawater or at least sodium chloride (NaCl) for growth. Spores are not formed.

Growth and metabolism

All representatives of the Flammeovirgaceae are chemo-organotrophic . The species are usually aerobic , they use oxygen for breathing . Persicobacter psychrovividus is an exception, this species is facultatively anaerobic . The majority of species produce oxidase and catalase . Most species do not make acetoin , hydrogen sulfate, or indole . Few species can use the fermentation of glucose . B. Flammeovirga aprica .

Occurrence

The species were found in various marine habitats, for example in marine sediments, in lake water or on algae . Roseivirga was u. a. isolated from the green alga Ulva fenestrata , Fabibacter halotolerans from the sponge Tedania ignis .

Systematics

The two species Cytophaga aprica and Cytophaga diffluens , both first described by Reichenbach in 1989 , were placed by Yasuyoshi Nakagawa in 1997 in the two new genera Flammeovirga and Persicobacter . The family was founded by Jaewoo Yoon et al. Introduced in 2011.

The following genera are included in the family (as of 2013):
