The Predatory Properties of Bradymonabacteria, the Representative of Facultative Prey-Dependent Predators.

ABSTRACT: Bradymonabacteria, as the representative of the facultative prey-dependent predators, were re-classified from the preceding Deltaproteobacteria into the phylum Myxococcota and proposed as a novel class named Bradymonadia. However, it was ambiguous whether their predatory pattern and properties were similar to those of the other myxobacterial predators. Therefore, the physiologic features were compared to determine the similarities and differences during the process of group attack and kin discrimination. Comparative genomic analyses were performed to conclude the core genome encoded commonly by bradymonabacteria, Myxococcia, and Polyangia. In conclusion, we proposed that bradymonabacteria have a predation pattern similar to the that of the representative
