Phylogenomic analysis of metagenome-assembled genomes indicates new taxa in the order Spirochaetales and proposal of Thalassospirochaeta sargassi gen. nov. sp. nov. from seaweeds.

Six metagenome-assembled genomes (JB008, JB007, JB015, JB003, JB004, and JB002) belonging to the order Spirochaetales were generated from seaweed samples collected from the Gulf of Mannar, India. The binned genomes JB008 and JB007 shared highest 16S rRNA gene identity of 94.9 % and 92.
