Phylotaxogenomics for the Reappraisal of the Genus Roseomonas With the Creation of Six New Genera.

ABSTRACT: The genus Roseomonas is a significant group of bacteria which is invariably of great clinical and ecological importance. Previous studies have shown that the genus Roseomonas is polyphyletic in nature. Our present study focused on generating a lucid understanding of the phylogenetic framework for the re-evaluation and reclassification of the genus Roseomonas. Phylogenetic studies based on the 16S rRNA gene and 92 concatenated genes suggested that the genus is heterogeneous, forming seven major groups. Existing Roseomonas species were subjected to an array of genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses in order to resolve the heterogeneity. Genomic similarity indices (dDDH and ANI) indicated that the members were well-defined at the species level. The
