The '''''Caryophanaceae''''' is a [[family (taxonomy)|family]] of [[Gram-positive]] [[bacteria]]. In 2020, the now defunct family '''''Planococcaceae''''' was merged into ''Caryophanaceae'' to rectify a nomenclature anomaly.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last1=Gupta|first1=Radhey S.|last2=Patel|first2=Sudip|date=2020-01-14|title=Robust Demarcation of the Family Caryophanaceae (Planococcaceae) and Its Different Genera Including Three Novel Genera Based on Phylogenomics and Highly Specific Molecular Signatures|journal=Frontiers in Microbiology|volume=10|page=2821 | pmid=32010063|doi=10.3389/fmicb.2019.02821|issn=1664-302X|pmc=6971209|doi-access=free }}</ref> The type genus of this family is ''[[Caryophanon]].''<ref name=LPSN></ref>

The family ''Planococcacae'' was validly published in 1949, however it contained within it another family level taxonomic rank, the family ''Caryophanaceae,'' which was validly published in 1939.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Tindall|first=B. J.|date=2019-08-01|title=When treated as heterotypic synonyms the names Caryophanaceae Peshkoff 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) and Caryophanales Peshkoff 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) have priority over the names Planococcaceae Krasil'nikov 1949 (Approved Lists 1980) and Bacillales Prévot 1953 (Approved Lists 1980) and Bacillales Prévot 1953 (Approved Lists 1980), respectively|journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology|volume=69|issue=8|pages=2187–2195|doi=10.1099/ijsem.0.003354|pmid=30896383 |issn=1466-5026|doi-access=free}}</ref> According to the [[International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes|International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP)]], the name ''Caryophanacaeae'' has higher priority than ''Planococcaceae'' because of its earlier publication.<ref name=":2" /> Therefore, the emended family retained the name ''Caryophanaceae''.

The name ''Caryophanaceae'' is derived from the Latin term ''Caryophanon'', referring the type genus of the family and the suffix "-aceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, ''Caryophanaceae'' refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus ''Caryophanon''.<ref name=":0" />

== Biochemical characteristics and molecular signatures == Cells from members of the family ''Caryophanaceae'' can be cocci or rods, sometimes forming filaments or trichomes. Most species are strictly aerobic heterotrophs, although some are also facultatively aerobes. Cells are generally motile by flagella or gliding and they may or may not form endospores. Most species are catalase-positive and oxidase positive or negative.<ref name=":0" />

Analyses of genome sequences from ''Caryophanaceae'' species identified 13 [[conserved signature indels]] (CSIs) that are uniquely present in this family in the proteins [[Phenylalanine—tRNA ligase|phenylalanine–tRNA ligase]] subunit alpha, [[chaperonin]] GroEL, ribosome maturation factor RimP, BrxA/BrxB family bacilliredoxin, [[RNA methyltransferase]], Rhomboid family intramembrane serine protease, [[ATP-dependent Clp protease]] ATP-binding subunit, [[DNA-directed RNA polymerase]] subunit beta, [[chorismate synthase]], stage IV sporulation protein A, [[peptidase]], KinB-signaling pathway activation protein, and DUF423 domain-containing protein.<ref name=":0" /> These CSIs serve as a reliable molecular means of demarcating members ''Caryophanaceae'' from other families within the order ''Caryophanales'' and other bacteria.

== Historical systematics and current taxonomy == ''Caryophanaceae'', as of 2021, contains 19 validly published genera.<ref name=LPSN/>

In addition to the nomenclature anomaly, ''Caryophanaceae'' also encompassed over 100 species that had varying morphology/biochemical characteristics, demonstrating that they were phylogenetically unrelated.<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last1=Ludwig|first1=Wolfgang|last2=Schleifer|first2=Karl‐Heinz|last3=Whitman|first3=William B.|date=2015-09-14|title=Planococcaceae|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9781118960608.fbm00116|journal=Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria|pages=1|doi=10.1002/9781118960608.fbm00116|isbn=9781118960608 |url-access=subscription}}</ref> The original assignment of species into the family ''Caryophanaceae'' was largely based on 16S rRNA genome sequence analyses, which is known to have low discriminatory power and the results of which changes depends on the algorithm and organism information used. Despite this, the analyses still exhibited polyphyletic branching, indicating the presence of distinct subgroups within the family.<ref name=":4" />

In 2020, Gupta and Patel proposed the emendation of ''Caryophanaceae,'' specifically the unification with ''Planoccocacae'', the proposal of 3 new genera as well as the transfer of a number of misclassified species into the appropriate genera.<ref name=":0" /> The changes were proposed based on various phylogenetic trees constructed based on multiple large datasets of protein sequences and the identification of unique molecular markers known as [[Conserved signature indels|conserved signatures indels]] in multiple proteins.<ref name=":0" />
