Analysis of the Genomes and Adaptive Traits of Skermanella cutis sp. nov., a Human Skin Isolate, and the Type Strains Skermanella rosea and Skermanella mucosa.

ABSTRACT: The genus Skermanella comprises important soil bacteria that are often associated with the crop rhizospheres, but its physiological traits remain poorly understood. This study characterizes Skermanella sp. TT6^T, isolated from human skin, with a focus on its metabolic and environmental adaptations. Genome sequencing and phylogenomic analyses revealed that the strain TT6^T is most closely related to S. rosea M1^T, with average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of 94.14% (±0.5%) and 64.7%, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis showed that the strains TT6^T, S. rosea M1^T and S. mucosa 8-14-6^T share the Calvin cycle, and possess photosynthetic genes associated with t
