The Oxalobacteraceae form a family of the Burkholderiales . It comprises seven genera and is circumscribed in a purely molecular manner.

Like all Proteobacteria, the species contained are gram-negative and have different metabolic pathways: they are either strictly aerobic , strictly anaerobic or live as nitrogen fixers (e.g. some Telluria and Herbaspirillum species).

Systematics

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