Integrative Assessments on Molecular Taxonomy of Acidiferrobacter thiooxydans ZJ and Its Environmental Adaptation Based on Mobile Genetic Elements.

ABSTRACT: Acidiferrobacter spp. are facultatively anaerobic acidophiles that belong to a distinctive Acidiferrobacteraceae family, which are similar to Ectothiorhodospiraceae phylogenetically, and are closely related to Acidithiobacillia class/subdivision physiologically. The limited genome information has kept them from being studied on molecular taxonomy and environmental adaptation in depth. Herein, Af. thiooxydans ZJ was isolated from acid mine drainage (AMD), and the complete genome sequence was reported to scan its genetic constitution for taxonomic and adaptative feature exploration. The genome has a single chromosome of 3,302,271 base pairs (bp), with a GC content of 63.61%. The phylogenetic tree based on OrthoANI highlighted the unique position of Af. thiooxyd
