Genome-Based Reclassification of Anoxybacillus geothermalis Filippidou et al. 2016 as a Later Heterotypic Synonym of Anoxybacillus rupiensis Derekova et al. 2007
In this study, our aim was to elucidate the relationship between Anoxybacillus rupiensis DSM 17127 T and Anoxybacillus geothermalis GSsed3 T through whole-genome phylogenetic analysis. The obtained 16S rRNA gene sequence from the genome of A. rupiensis DSM 17127 T exhibited a 99.8% similarity with A...

Zusammenfassung: | In this study, our aim was to elucidate the relationship between
Anoxybacillus rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
and
Anoxybacillus geothermalis
GSsed3
T
through whole-genome phylogenetic analysis. The obtained 16S rRNA gene sequence from the genome of
A. rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
exhibited a 99.8% similarity with
A. geothermalis
GSsed3
T
. In the phylogenetic trees constructed using whole-genome sequences and 16S rRNA gene sequences,
A. rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
and
A. geothermalis
GSsed3
T
were observed to form a clade, indicating a close relationship between them. Moreover, the average amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity, and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values calculated between
A. rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
and
A. geothermalis
GSsed3
T
exceeded the threshold values typically used for species demarcation. Furthermore, the phylogenomic analysis based on the core genome of the strains in question provided additional support for the formation of a monophyletic clade by
A. rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
and
A. geothermalis
GSsed3
T
. Most phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features between both strains were almost identical except for a few exceptions. These findings suggest that both strains should be classified as belonging to the same species, and we propose that
A. geothermalis
GSsed3
T
is a later heterotypic synonym of
A. rupiensis
DSM 17127
T
