Abstract:The family Beggiatoaceae is currently represented by 25 genera in the Genome Taxonomy Database, of which only 6 have a definite taxonomic status. Two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), WS_Bin1 and WS_Bin3, were assembled from metagenomes of the sulfur mats coating laminaria remnants in the White Sea. Using the obtained MAGs, we first applied phylogenetic analysis based on whole-genome sequences to address the systematics of Beggiatoaceae, which clarify the taxonomy of this family. According to the average nu… Show more
