Description of Sediminicola litoralis sp. nov. isolated from tidal flat sediment and functional genomic analysis of the genus Sediminicola.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The genus Sediminicola represents one of the least characterized taxa within the well-studied family Flavobacteriaceae, with only two formally recognized species to date. The scarcity of cultivated isolates and the lack of genomic data for type strains have significantly hindered comprehensive insights into its phylogenetic diversity, metabolic capabilities, and potential biotechnological utility. In this study, a novel bacterial strain, designated 1XM1-17^T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment. Through a polyphasic taxonomic approach combined with functional genomic analysis, we systematically investigated its taxonomic classification and conducted the first detailed metabolic profiling of the genus Sediminicola to bridge this knowledge gap.
