The FCB group is a superphylum of bacteria named after the main member phyla Fibrobacteres, Chlorobi, and Bacteroidetes. The members are considered to form a clade due to a number of conserved signature indels.[3]
Cavalier-Smith calls the equivalent grouping a phylum by the name of Sphingobacteria. It contains the classes Chlorobea (= Chlorobi), Fibrobacteres, Bacteroidetes[a] and Flavobacteria. However, this megaclassification is not followed by the larger scientific community.[4][5][6]

An analogous situation is seen with the PVC group/Planctobacteria.
Notes
- ^ Different from the accepted Bacteroidetes, which consists of Bacteroidia (equivalent to Cavalier-Smith's Bacteroidetes), Cytophagia and Flavobacteriia and Sphingobacteriia.
