Type strain is Verrucolacustris abundans MiH-22 (GCA_965194535.1), isolated from 15 m depth from Lake Milada, Czechia (date: 2019-10-15), via high-throughput dilution to extinction cultivation. MiH-22 has a genome size of 2.0 Mbp with a genomic GC content of 52.8%, contains 3 rRNA genes and 46 tRNAs. The genome is complete, consisting of a circular chromosome. The genome contains genes encoding rhodopsins. No genes for flagellar assembly and chemotaxis were annotated. In contrast to other Methylacidiphilales members, no genes for C1 metabolism (methanotrophy) were identified. Pathways for assimilatory sulfate reduction and the biosynthesis of all amino acids except for methionine, histidine and tryptophan were predicted. Further, pathways for only three vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, and biotin biosynthesis) were identified. The closest cultivated relative is Methylacidimicrobium cyclopophantes 3B_2 (GCF_902143385.2), with an average amino acid identity of 49.5% and average nucleotide identity of 62.8%. Current GTDB classification (R220): d__Bacteria; p__Verrucomicrobiota; c__Verrucomicrobiae; o__Methylacidiphilales; f__UBA3015; g__UBA3015; s__UBA3015 sp030054195.
