Taxonomy

Description

Members of the family Seribacteraceae are predicted to be aerobic and heterotrophic marine bacteria dwelling in surface waters. A total of 71 MAGs belonging to this family were recovered in the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2018 and 2020 Helgoland spring blooms which fell into 6 clusters. Seribacteraceae belongs to the order Opitutales, class Verrucomicrobiae, and phylum Verrucomicrobiota (based on GTDB taxonomy). Formerly identified as family MB11C04. Two FISH probes for members of this family have been developed  (probe c17-1166 and c21-472 from Orellana et al., 2022) and previously used to describe that members of this genus are short rods (Orellana et al., 2022). The type genus is Seribacter and the corresponding type material is the metagenome-assembled genome r4, which shows 99.5% ANI to a previously described representative of the MB11C04 family (MB5 from Orellana et al., 2022).
