Oligoflexia, the Newest Class of the Phylum Proteobacteria, Consisting of only One Cultured Species and Uncultured Bacterial Phylotypes from Diverse Habitats

The phylum Proteobacteria has recently gained a new taxon Oligoflexia that represents the seventh or eighth (if yet-to-be-validated “Zetaproteobacteria” is included) class, described by the only cultured species (as of December 2014), Oligoflexus tunisiensis, as the type species. This bacterium exhibits cellular polymorphism and presence of the uncommon fatty acid C16: 1ω5c as high as >65% of total fatty acids, besides its unique 16S rRNA gene sequence.
