This family includes the genera Comamonas, Acidovorax, Hydrogenophaga, Xylophilus, and Variovorax (formerly Alcaligenes paradoxus), as well as a number of phylogenetically misnamed Aquaspirillum and phytopathogenic Pseudomonas species. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-41-3-445
