Comparative Genomics Reveal the Animal-Associated Features of the Acanthopleuribacteraceae Bacteria, and Description of Sulfidibacter corallicola gen. nov., sp., nov.

ABSTRACT: Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are ubiquitous in various environments. Soil acidobacteria have been reported to present a variety of strategies for their success in terrestrial environments. However, owing to lack of pure culture, information on animal-associated acidobacteria are limited, except for those obtained from 16S rRNA genes. To date, only two acidobacteria have been isolated from animals, namely strain M133^T obtained from coral Porites lutea and Acanthopleuribacter pedis KCTC 12899^T isolated from chiton. Genomics and physiological characteristics of strain M133^T and A. pedis KCTC 12899^T were compared with 19 other isolates (one strain from each genus) in the phylum Acidobacteria. The results reve
