Abstract

Carnobacteriaceae, a family of the order Lactobacillales, within the phylum Firmicutes, embraces the genera Carnobacterium, Alkalibacterium, Allofustis, Alloiococcus, Atopobacter, Atopococcus, Atopostipes, Bavariicoccus, Desemzia, Dolosigranulum, Granulicatella, Isobaculum, Jeotgalibaca, Lacticigenium, Marinilactibacillus, Pisciglobus, and Trichococcus. Circumscribed mainly on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and defined by a wide range of morphological and chemotaxonomic properties, such as polar lipids, fatty acids, amino acids of peptidoglycan, and whole-cell sugars which are used for the delineation of genera and species. Members of the family are mainly found associated with food products, human, and cold environmental sources.
