'''''Fidelibacter''''' is a [monotypic](/source/Monotypic_taxon) [genus](/source/genus) of [bacteria](/source/bacteria). It contains one [species](/source/species), '''''Fidelibacter multiformis'''''. It is in the monotypic [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) '''Fidelibacteraceae''', monotypic [order](/source/Order_(biology)) '''Fidelibacterales''', monotypic [class](/source/Class_(biology)) '''Fidelibacteria''' and monotypic [phylum](/source/phylum) '''Fidelibacterota''', previously known as '''"Marinimicrobia"''', '''Marine Group A''' or '''SAR406'''.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Katayama |first=Taiki |last2=Nobu |first2=Masaru K. |last3=Kamagata |first3=Yoichi |last4=Tamaki |first4=Hideyuki |date=2024 |title=Fidelibacter multiformis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from a deep subsurface aquifer and proposal of Fidelibacterota phyl. nov., formerly called Marine Group A, SAR406 or Candidatus Marinimicrobia |url=https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijsem.0.006558 |journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology |volume=74 |issue=10 |pages=006558 |doi=10.1099/ijsem.0.006558 |issn=1466-5034 |pmc=11652737 |pmid=39465541 |doi-access=free}}</ref><ref name=":02" /><ref name=":0" /> Fidelibacterota has been found mainly at great depths such as the [Challenger Deep](/source/Challenger_Deep), the [Mariana Trench](/source/Mariana_Trench), and the [Puerto Rico Trench](/source/Puerto_Rico_Trench). Fidelibacterota has a low representation in shallow pelagic samples and high abundance in deep samples. Although Fidelibacterota is often associated with low dissolved [oxygen](/source/oxygen) environments, very little is known about their [ecology](/source/ecology) and metabolic functions.<ref name=":0">Tarn, J., Peoples, L.
