Disease relevance of Flavobacteriaceae

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that iodide-accumulating bacteria were closely related to Flexibacter aggregans NBRC15975 and Arenibacter troitsensis, members of the family Flavobacteriaceae [1].
Cytophaga marinoflava and C. latercula belonging to Flavobacteriaceae contained homospermidine [2].
Homospermidine was found in all species of Flavobacterium, Chryseobacterium, Empedobacter, Myroides, Cellulophaga, Salegentibacter, Psychroserpens and Gelidibacter of the family Flavobacteriaceae [2].

High impact information on Flavobacteriaceae

Kinetic parameters of EBR-1 were similar to those of class B enzymes such as BlaB, IND-2, and GOB-1 identified from other Flavobacteriaceae species, except for meropenem, which was more hydrolyzed by beta-lactamase GOB-1 [3].
However, strain UST20020801(T) possessed menaquinone-6, a major respiratory quinone of members of the family Flavobacteriaceae [4].
The isolate had major amounts of iso-branched and 3-hydroxy iso-branched fatty acids and menaquinone 6 and a DNA G+C content of 34 mol%; these chemotaxonomic characters also supported the placement of the organism in the family Flavobacteriaceae [5].
Zobellia galactanovorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine species of Flavobacteriaceae isolated from a red alga, and classification of [6].
