Palleniella is a genus in the phylum Bacteroidota (Bacteria).
Etymology The genus is named after the British microbiologist Mark Pallen who pioneered the automation of name creation for microorganisms.
Species The genus contains the following species: Palleniella intestinalis (Hitch et al 2022)
Taxonomy In 2022, Hitch et al. proposed the reclassification of species previously assigned to the genus Prevotella into seven genera, including four novel genera for which the names Segatella, Hoylesella, Leyella and Palleniella were proposed. In addition to the reclassification of Prevotella, this work described four novel species, Hallella faecis, Xylanibacter rodentium, Xylanibacter muris, and Palleniella intestinalis.
