Two novel strains, MaLMAid0302T and SPO723T, isolated from coral and eelgrass, respectively, were distinguished from other Stappiaceae species based on phenotypic, biochemical, phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic traits. Taxonomic challenges within the family Stappiaceae were addressed using a taxogenomic approach with iterative clustering, establishing an optimal average amino acid identity (AAI) threshold (71.92-72.88%) for genus delineation. This analysis led to major taxonomic revisions, including the establishment of new genera-Parapolycladidibacter, Astericibacter, Flexibacterium, Aliiroseibium, Laciiroseibium, Soliroseibium, Novilabrenzia, Litoriroseibium, and Algilabrenzia-as well as the reassignment of several species: Hongsoonwoonella albiluteola comb. nov., Parapolycladidibacter stylochi gen. nov., comb. nov., Astericibacter flavus gen. nov., comb. nov., Nesiotobacter exalbescens comb. nov., Aliiroseibium hamelinense gen. nov., comb. nov., Laciiroseibium aquae gen. nov., comb. nov., Soliroseibium sediminis gen. nov., comb. nov., Novilabrenzia suaedae gen. nov., comb. nov., Novilabrenzia litorale gen. nov., comb. nov., Litoriroseibium aestuarii gen. nov., comb. nov., Litoriroseibium limicola gen. nov., comb. nov., and Algilabrenzia polysiphoniae gen. nov., comb. nov. Given this extensive taxonomic reclassification of the family Stappiaceae, strain SPO723T (=KCCM 42324T = JCM 14066T) was classified as Nesiotobacter zosterae sp. nov., and Flexibacterium corallicola MaLMAid0302T (=KCTC 92348T = JCM 35474T) was designated as the type species of the newly established genus Flexibacterium. Close phylogenetic ties to Pseudovibrio, known for symbiosis, prompted analysis of niche-specific genetic compositions. Canonical Correspondence Analysis attributed 64% of genomic variation to phylogenetic forcing and 36% to environmental forcing. Functional adaptations included pectin and aromatic compound degradation in sediment strains, nitrogen reduction in flatworm strains, and sulfur metabolism in coral strains. The eelgrass strain exhibited dTDP-L-rhamnose synthesis, potentially aiding biofilm formation for adhesion in dynamic environments. These findings emphasize the roles of both environmental and phylogenetic forcing in shaping genomic diversity and highlight the ecological importance of the family Stappiaceae in marine habitat-associated niches.
分别从珊瑚和鳗草中分离出的两株新菌株MaLMAid0302T和SPO723T,根据其表型、生化、系统发育和化学分类学特征,与其他斯塔普氏菌科物种区分开来。利用分类基因组学方法和迭代聚类解决了斯塔普氏菌科内的分类学挑战,确定了用于属划分的最佳平均氨基酸同一性(AAI)阈值(71.92 - 72.88%)。该分析导致了重大的分类学修订,包括建立新属——副多枝杆菌属、星状杆菌属、弯曲杆菌属、阿里玫瑰杆菌属、拉克玫瑰杆菌属、索利玫瑰杆菌属、新拉布伦齐亚菌属、滨海玫瑰杆菌属和藻栖拉布伦齐亚菌属——以及几个物种的重新分类:白黄洪氏菌新组合、新属新种副多枝杆菌属Stylochi、新属新种星状杆菌属Flavus、褪色海杆菌新组合、新属新种阿里玫瑰杆菌属Hamelinense、新属新种拉克玫瑰杆菌属Aquae、新属新种索利玫瑰杆菌属Sediminis、新属新种新拉布伦齐亚菌属Suaedae、新属新种新拉布伦齐亚菌属Litorale、新属新种滨海玫瑰杆菌属Aestuarii、新属新种滨海玫瑰杆菌属Limicola和新属新种藻栖拉布伦齐亚菌属Polysiphoniae。鉴于斯塔普氏菌科如此广泛的分类重新分类,菌株SPO723T(=KCCM 42324T = JCM 14066T)被分类为海草海杆菌新种,而珊瑚弯曲杆菌MaLMAid0302T(=KCTC 92348T = JCM 35474T)被指定为新建立的弯曲杆菌属的模式种。与以共生闻名的假弧菌的密切系统发育关系促使对特定生态位的遗传组成进行分析。典范对应分析将64%的基因组变异归因于系统发育压力,36%归因于环境压力。功能适应性包括沉积物菌株中的果胶和芳香化合物降解、扁虫菌株中的氮还原以及珊瑚菌株中的硫代谢。鳗草菌株表现出dTDP - L - 鼠李糖合成,可能有助于在动态环境中形成用于附着的生物膜。这些发现强调了环境和系统发育压力在塑造基因组多样性中的作用,并突出了斯塔普氏菌科在海洋栖息地相关生态位中的生态重要性。
