Paraflavitalea pollutisoli sp. nov., Pollutibacter soli gen. nov. sp. nov., Polluticoccus soli gen. nov. sp. nov., and Terrimonas pollutisoli sp. nov., four new members of the family Chitinophagaceae from polluted soil
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2024 Mar 12;47(2-3):126503. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2024.126503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA taxonomic investigation was conducted on four bacterial strains isolated from soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these strains belonged to the family Chitinophagaceae. Examination of the 16S rRNA genes indicated that their sequence identities were below 97.6 % compared to any known and validly nominated bacterial species. The genomes of the four strains ranged from 4.12 to 8.76 Mb, with overall G + C molar contents varying from 41.28 % ...

Stomatohabitans albus gen. nov., sp. nov., an oral living facultative anaerobic actinobacteria isolated form Steller sea lion, and proposal of Stomatohabitantaceae fam. nov. and Stomatohabitantales ord. nov
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2024 Mar 7;47(2-3):126501. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2024.126501. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTwo novel actinobacteria, designated as SYSU M7M538T and SYSU M7M531, were isolated from oral of Eumetopias jubatus in Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, China. The cells of these microorganisms stained Gram-positive and were rod shaped. These strains were facultative anaerobic, and catalase-positive. Optimal growth occurred at 37 °C and pH 7.0 over 7 days of cultivation. Both strains possessed diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphocholine as the major polar lipids. The main menaquinone was MK-9(H...

Phylogenomic analysis of metagenome-assembled genomes indicates new taxa in the order Spirochaetales and proposal of Thalassospirochaeta sargassi gen. nov. sp. nov. from seaweeds
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2024 Mar 2;47(2-3):126502. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2024.126502. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSix metagenome-assembled genomes (JB008Ts, JB007, JB015, JB003, JB004, and JB002) belonging to the order Spirochaetales were generated from seaweed samples collected from the Gulf of Mannar, India. The binned genomes JB008Ts and JB007 shared highest 16S rRNA gene identity of 94.9 % and 92.2-93.4 %, respectively with uncultivated Spirochaetaceae family members, and < 90 % identity with Marispirochaeta aestuari JC444T. While, the bin JB015 showed 99.1 % identity with Pleomorphochaeta naphthae SEBR 4209T. The phy...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? A call for community participation in the governance of the SeqCode
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2024 Feb 24;47(2-3):126498. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2024.126498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCodes of nomenclature that provide well-regulated and stable frameworks for the naming of taxa are a fundamental underpinning of biological research. These Codes themselves require systems that govern their administration, interpretation and emendment. Here we review the provisions that have been made for the governance of the recently introduced Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from Sequence Data (SeqCode), which provides a nomenclatural framework for the valid publication of names of Archaea and B...

Phylogenomic and molecular markers based studies on clarifying the evolutionary relationships among Peptoniphilus species. Identification of several Genus-Level clades of Peptoniphilus species and transfer of some Peptoniphilus species to the genus Aedoeadaptatus
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2024 Feb 24;47(2-3):126499. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2024.126499. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo clarify the evolutionary relationships among Peptoniphilus species, whose members show association with increased risk for prostate cancer, detailed phylogenomic and comparative analyses were conducted on their genome sequences. In phylogenetic trees based on core genome proteins and 16S rRNA gene sequences, Peptoniphilus species formed eight distinct clades, with Aedoeadaptatus and Anaerosphaera species branching between them. The observed clades designated as Peptoniphilus sensu stricto (encompassing its ty...
