Abstract

Haliangiaceae represent a unique myxobacterial taxon occupying a novel and distinct phylogenetic cluster in the suborder Nannocystineae with Kofleriaceae emerging as their most closely related family. To date, there is no valid standing nomenclature to classify the monotypic genus Haliangium and member species (H. ochraceum, H. tepidum) into a family rank level. So far, all members of this taxon were isolated from marine environment. Haliangiaceae represent bacteriolytic- and non-cellulolytic-type obligate halophilic myxobacteria, and currently the only known application is the production of novel biologically active compounds.
