Phylogeny [edit]

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) [1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[2] and the phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 106 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project [3]




Arcanobacterium




Actinobaculum



Trueperella





Actinomyces [incl. Mobiluncus & Varibaculum]
