Genome-Based Reclassification of [Bizionia] algoritergicola Bowman and Nichols 2005 as Algorimicrobium algoritergicola gen. nov., comb. nov. and description of Algorimicrobium bowmanii sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: The genus Bizionia, a member of the Bacteroidota phylum, is considered a polyphyletic taxonomic group requiring a phylogenetic revision of its members. A novel strain 041-53-Ur-6^T was isolated from the cavity fluid of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius from the Sea of Okhotsk. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that 041-53-Ur-6^T belongs to the family Flavobacteriaceae, and its closest neighbor is [Bizionia] algoritergicola with 97.5% sequence similarity. Phylogenomic analysis confirmed the phylogenetic heterogeneity of the genus Bizionia and the clear separation of the genera "Algorimicrobium" and Hanstruepera. The inter-genus AAI values between them were 74.0-76.4%, which is slightly
