New taxa have been affiliated to the order Rhizobiales, which include the Aestuariivirgaceae (Rhizobiales) family proposed by Li et al. (2019) during the description of the Aestuariivirga litoralis species. This group was firstly described as part of an investigation to understand the microbiome of estuarine sediments, highlighting important findings about the phenotypic and genomic characterization. Furthermore, initial phylogeny analysis based on 16S rRNA and protein marker genes showed that his group should represent a new family (Li et al., 2019).
