  • Myxococcia Waite et al. 2020
  • Polyangiia corrig. Waite et al. 2020
Synonyms
  • Deltabacteria Cavalier-Smith 2002

The Myxococcota are a phylum of bacteria known as the fruiting gliding bacteria.[4] All species of this group are Gram-negative. They are predominantly aerobic genera that release myxospores in unfavorable environments.

Phylogeny
