Proteobacteria / Betaproteobacteria / Burkholderiales / Comamonadaceae / incertae Sedis V. Rubrivivax

Cells are straight or curved rods, are motile by means of polar flagella, and multiply by binary fission. Gram negative and belonging to the Betaproteobacteria . Internal membrane systems are poorly developed or absent. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spheroidene series. Ubiquinones and menaquinones with eight isoprene units (Q-8 and MK-8) are present. Straight-chain C 16:1 and C16:0 are the major components of cellular fatty acids. C 10:0 3OH is present.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 70.5–72.4 (Bd), 71.2–72.1 (HPLC).

Type species: Rubrivivax gelatinosus (Molisch 1907) Willems, Gillis and De Ley 1991b, 71 (Rhodocyclus gelatinosus (Molisch 1907) Imhoff, Trüper and Pfennig 1984, 341; Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa (Molisch 1907) van Niel 1944, 98; Rhodocystis gelatinosa Molisch 1907, 22.)
