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. Chordibacter  belongs to the family Seribacteraceae, formerly known as MB11C04, order Opitutales, class Verrucomicrobiae, and phylum Verrucomicrobiota. Formerly identified as genus 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).
