Halosquirtibacter laminarini gen. nov., sp. nov. and Halosquirtibacter xylanolyticus sp. nov., marine anaerobic laminarin and xylan degraders in the phylum Bacteroidota.

ABSTRACT: The bacterial group of the phylum Bacteroidota greatly contributes to the global carbon cycle in marine ecosystems through its specialized ability to degrade marine polysaccharides. In this study, it is proposed that two novel facultative anaerobic strains, DS1-an-13321^T and DS1-an-2312^T, which were isolated from a sea squirt, represent a novel genus, Halosquirtibacter, with two novel species in the family Prolixibacteraceae. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities of these two strains were 91.26% and 91.37%, respectively, against Puteibacter caeruleilacunae JC036^T, which is the closest recognized neighbor. The complete genomes of strains DS1-an-13321^T and DS1-an-2312^T each consisted of a single circular chromosome with a size of 4.47 and 5
