Taxonomy

Description
Members of the Chordibacter genus are predicted to be aerobic and heterotrophic marine bacteria dwelling in surface waters. A total of 17 MAGs belonging to this genus were recovered in the 2011, 2012, 2016, and 2018 Helgoland spring blooms. This genome is estimated to be 92.7% complete with 2.2% redundancy. It has a GC content of 44.3% and a genome size of 2.12 Mbp. The 5S, 16S, and 23S rRNA genes were identified in the genome. Chordibacter forsetii belongs to the family MB11C04, order Opitutales, class Verrucomicrobiae, and phylum Verrucomicrobiota. Formerly identified as genus MB11C04 and species MB11C04. A FISH probe for this family has been developed (probe c17-1166 from Orellana et al., 2022) and previously used to describe that members of this genus are short rods of length and width 0.9 and 0.8 µm respectively (Orellana et al., 2022). The type species is Chordibacter forsetii and the corresponding type material is the metagenome-assembled genome ERZ814923, which shows 99.3% ANI to a previously described representative of the MB11C04 family (MB1 from Orellana et al., 2022).

Submitter comments
  • The GC content was assessed using anvio-8 
  • Completeness and redundancy values were determined using checkM v1.1.3
  • The presence of tRNA elements was assessed using prokka v1.14.6
  • The presence of rRNA fragments was assessed using prokka v1.14.6 and barrnap v0.9
  • The sequencing depth of the MAG was assessed using samtools v1.17. Readmapping of the MAG was conducted against the metagenome from which it was recovered, and depth was determined using samtools coverage. The reported "mean depth" per contig was then averaged to get the depth of the entire MAG
