Comparative Genome Analyses Reveal the Genomic Traits and Host Plant Adaptations of Flavobacterium akiainvivens IK-1^T.

ABSTRACT: The genus Flavobacterium contains a large group of commensal bacteria identified in diverse terrestrial and aquatic habitats. We compared the genome of a new species Flavobacterium akiainvivens IK-1^T to public available genomes of Flavobacterium species to reveal the genomic traits and ecological roles of IK-1^T. Principle component analysis (PCA) of carbohydrate-active enzyme classes suggests that IK-1^T belongs to a terrestrial clade of Flavobacterium. In addition, type 2 and type 9 secretion systems involved in bacteria-environment interactions were identified in the IK-1^T genome. The IK-1^T genome encodes eukaryotic-like domain containing proteins including ankyrin repeats, von Willebrand factor type A doma
