Terracidiphilus gabretensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an Abundant and Active Forest Soil Acidobacterium Important in Organic Matter Transformation.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the activity of bacteria in coniferous forests is highly important, due to the role of these environments as a global carbon sink. In a study of the microbial biodiversity of montane coniferous forest soil in the Bohemian Forest National Park (Czech Republic), we succeeded in isolating bacterial strain S55(T), which belongs to one of the most abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in active bacterial populations, according to the analysis of RNA-derived 16S rRNA amplicons. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the species most closely related to strain S55(T) include Bryocella elongata SN10(T) (95.4% identity), Acidicapsa ligni WH120(T) (95.2% identity), and Telmatobacter bradus TPB6017(T) (95.0% identity), revealing that strain S55(T) should be classified with
