Reclassification of the Taxonomic Framework of Orders Cellvibrionales, Oceanospirillales, Pseudomonadales, and Alteromonadales in Class Gammaproteobacteria through Phylogenomic Tree Analysis. mSystems 2020; 5:e00543-20.
  • 🧒 Liao et al. (2020) assigned the genus Perlucidibaca Song et al. 2008 to this family. Publication: Liao H, Lin X, Li Y, Qu M, Tian Y. Reclassification of the Taxonomic Framework of Orders Cellvibrionales, Oceanospirillales, Pseudomonadales, and Alteromonadales in Class Gammaproteobacteria through Phylogenomic Tree Analysis. mSystems 2020; 5:e00543-20.
  • 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Moraxellaceae Rossau et al. 1991. Publication: Song J, Choo YJ, Cho JC. Perlucidibaca piscinae gen. nov., sp. nov., a freshwater bacterium belonging to the family Moraxellaceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:97-102.
