Taxogenomics of the Genus Cyclobacterium: Cyclobacterium xiamenense and Cyclobacterium halophilum as Synonyms and Description of Cyclobacterium plantarum sp. nov.

ABSTRACT: The genus Cyclobacterium belongs to the phylum Bacteroidetes and includes eight species. Our study, based on the genomic parameters in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (GGDC), average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI), and average amino acid identity (AAI), confirmed that all current species of Cyclobacterium belong to this genus and constitute a coherent phylogenomic group, but with species forming two separate branches. In addition, the genome-based analyses revealed that Cyclobacterium xiamenense and Cyclobacterium halophilum are members of the same species. Besides, we carried out a taxonomic characterization of the new strain GBPx2^T, isolated from the halophytic plant Salicornia sp. Analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence showed the highest
