Comparative Genomics Reveals Evidence of the Genome Reduction and Metabolic Potentials of Aliineobacillus hadale Isolated from Challenger Deep Sediment of the Mariana Trench.

ABSTRACT: Hadal zones account for the deepest 45% of oceanic depth range and play an important role in ocean biogeochemical cycles. As the least-explored aquatic habitat on earth, further investigation is still required to fully elucidate the microbial taxonomy, ecological significance, metabolic diversity, and adaptation in hadal environments. In this study, a novel strain Lsc_1132^T was isolated from sediment of the Mariana Trench at 10,954 m in depth. Strain Lsc_1132^T contains heterogenous 16S rRNA genes, exhibiting the highest sequence similarities to the type strains of Neobacillus drentensis LMG 21831^T, Neobacillus dielmonensis, Neobacillus drentensis NBRC 102427^T, Neobacillus rhizosphaerae, and Neobacillus soli NBRC
