Article Synopsis
  • The phylum Bacteroidota plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle by effectively breaking down marine polysaccharides, especially in marine ecosystems.
  • Two new strains, DS1-an-13321 and DS1-an-2312, isolated from a sea squirt, are proposed to form a new genus called Halosquirtibacter, with these strains representing two novel species within it.
  • Both strains show the ability to utilize various sugars for fermentation and produce acetic and propionic acid, while their genomes reveal a rich diversity of enzymes capable of degrading polysaccharides.

Bacteroidota is a group of marine polysaccharide degraders, which play a crucial role in the carbon cycle in the marine ecosystems. In this study, three novel gliding strains, designated as SS9-22, W9P-11, and SW1-E11, isolated from algae and decaying wood were proposed to represent three novel species of the genus Fulvivirga. We identified a large number of genes encoding for carbohydrate-active enzymes, which potentially participate in polysaccharide degradation, based on whole genome sequencing.
