Cytophagales is an order of non-spore forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria that move through a gliding or flexing motion.[4] These chemoorganotrophs are important remineralizers of organic materials into micronutrients.[5] They are widely dispersed in the environment, found in ecosystems including soil, freshwater, seawater and sea ice.[4] Cytophagales is included in the Bacteroidota phylum.[6]
