Biology:Lichenibacterium

From HandWiki

Lichenibacterium is a genus of Alphaproteobacteria. It is the only genus in the monotypic family Lichenibacteriaceae.[1]

Taxonomic considerations

Whole-genome analyses of type strains indicate that Lichenibacterium and Lichenihabitans (Lichenihabitantaceae) form a well-supported monophyletic group.[2] Broader genome and metagenome-based analyses further support inclusion of Lichenifustis (Lichenihabitantaceae) within the same lineage.[3]

Based on phylogenomic analyses[3], the relationships among described species are as follows:

other Hyphomicrobiales

Roseiarcaceae

Beijerinckiaceae

Rhodoblastaceae

Methylocystaceae

Lichenibacteriaceae

Lichenibacterium ramalinae

Lichenibacterium minor

Lichenibacterium dinghuense

Lichenihabitantaceae
Lichenihabitans

L. psoromatis

Lichenifustis

L. flavocetrariae

Formal taxonomic emendations merging Lichenibacteriaceae into Lichenihabitantaceae have not yet been validly published.
