Introduction: Bacteria of genus , encompassing economically significant pathogens affecting various plants, includes the species , initially associated with beetroot infection. However, its host range is much broader. It causes diseases of sunflower, potato, tomato, carrots, sweet potato, radish, squash, cucumber, and chrysanthemum.

Due to a high potential of spread in the face of global warming, the species poses a significant threat to horticultural and crop industry. The aim of this study was to revise the genomic, physiology and virulence characteristics of and update its phylogenetic position within the genus.

Bacteria of the genus are globally occurring pathogens that infect a broad spectrum of plants. The plant cell wall degrading enzymes allow them to cause diseases like soft rot and blackleg. Worldwide trade and exchange of plant material together with the accompanying microorganisms contributed to the rapid spread and consequently the acquisition of new traits by bacteria.

However, thermophilic isolates remain largely unrecovered from their habitats and are rarely systematically identified. In this study, we characterized using polyphasic approaches a thermophilic strain, PKUAC-SCTAE412 (E412 hereafter), recovered from Lotus Lake hot spring based in Ganzi prefecture, China.

They are most abundant in soda lakes in tropical and subtropical regions. Here, we report the comprehensive genome-based characterisation and physiological investigation of the new strain O9.

However, a vast majority of strains were not systematically identified, and genomic features of this genus are also sparse. Here, polyphasic approaches were employed to identify a thermophilic strain, PKUAC-SCTA183 (A183 hereafter), isolated from hot spring Erdaoqiao, Ganzi prefecture, China.

The 16S rRNA analysis showed <95 % identity with the known bacteria on public databases, therefore, additional analyses of fatty acids profiles, MALDI-TOF/MS, genome sequencing of the chosen isolate and following phylogenomic analyses were performed. Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic rods were positive for catalase, negative for oxidase, proteolytic and urease activity.
