Taxonomy

Description
Type species is Novimethylotenera aquatica ME-M6 (GCA_947054645.1). Although the closest cultivated relative (Methylotenera versatilis 7; GCF_000799165.1) has an average amino acid identity of 80.36% and average nucleotide identity of 76.56%, the genus Methylotenera is known to be polyphyletic in phylogenomic trees (e.g., Salcher et al. 2019; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-019-0471-3) and some strains that were previously termed Methylotenera should be reclassified. Current GTDB classification of the genus including the closest cultivated relative (GCF_000799165.1) is d__Bacteria; p__Pseudomonadota; c__Gammaproteobacteria; o__Burkholderiales; f__Methylophilaceae; g__Methylotenera_A. We propose a reclassification of the GTDB genus Methylotenera_A to Novimethylotenera, gen. nov.
