The family Bacteroidaceae is composed of five genera of environmental bacteria.[2] The genus Capsularis used to exist prior to 1982, but its only species, B. zoogleoformans, was later deemed to be more closely related to the genus Bacteroides.[3] Bacteroides is common in the human gastrointestinal microbiotia.
