Eurybacteria is a taxon created by Cavalier-Smith,[1] which includes several groups of Gram-negative bacteria. In this model, it is the ancestor of gram positive bacteria.[2] Their endospores are characterized by producing and presenting external flagella or mobility by bacterial displacement.
Members
Specifically, it includes:
- Fusobacteria. For example, Leptotrichia and Fusobacterium
- Togobacteria. For example, Thermotoga.
In the standard classification, Selenobacteria are usually included in the phylum Bacillota, whereas fusobacteria and togobacteria are classified as their own groups.
