Parvibacter is a genus in the phylum Actinobacteria containing a single species, Parvibacter caecicola.[1]
Taxonomy[]
In 2018, Nouioui et al. proposed merging the genus Parvibacter along with the genera Asaccharobacter and Enterorhabdus within the genus Aldercreutzia based on observed clustering of these genera within phylogenetic trees.[2] However, subsequent phylogenetic analyses observed that Parvibacter caecicola exhibited much deeper branching compared to other Aldercreutzia species.[1] Its phylogenetic distinctness was further demonstrated by the presence of five conserved signature indels (CSIs) that are exclusively shared by all Aldercreutzia species except for P. caecicola.[1] Thus, P. caecicola was transferred back into the genus Parvibacter, which continues to be a validly published genus.
