Acidiparvus gen. nov.

Submitted by Wong, Hon Lun

Genus Acidiparvus

Etymology: [A.ci.di.par'vus] N.L. neut. adj. Acidum, sour, acid; N.L. masc. adj. parvus, small, unimportant; N.L. masc. n. Acidiparvus, Acidiparvus, a genus in the acid-loving Acidobacteriota with small genome size
Nomenclatural type: Species Acidiparvus lacustris^Ts
Description: This is a novel genus describing a genome streamlined Acidobacteriota lineage having extremely small genome size and limited metabolic capacities, mainly found in freshwater environments.
Classification: Bacteria » Acidobacteriota » Holophagae » Holophagales » Holophagaceae » Acidiparvus

Species Acidiparvus lacustris^Ts

Etymology: [la.cus'tris] N.L. masc. adj. lacustris, of a lake, resides in freshwater environments
Nomenclatural type: NCBI Assembly: GCA_963970155.1 ^Ts
Description: This is a novel genus of a genome streamlined Acidobacteriota, under the family Holophagaceae. They are the only genus under the family Holophagaceae to have extremely small genome size and limited metabolic capacity. Acidoparvus lacustris are exclusively found in freshwater lakes. We assembled two complete genomes from Acidoparvus lacustris, in which we will choose one as the type genome.
Classification: Bacteria » Acidobacteriota » Holophagae » Holophagales » Holophagaceae » Acidiparvus » Acidiparvus lacustris^Ts

Species Acidiparvus fluvialis

Etymology: [flu.vi.a'lis] N.L. masc. adj. fluvialis, of a river
Nomenclatural type: NCBI Assembly: GCA_041263285.1 ^Ts
Description: This is a novel genus Acidoparvus, a genome streamlined Acidobacteriota under the family Holophagaceae with extremely small genome size and limited metabolic capacity. This species (A. fluvialis) is exclusively found in rivers.
Classification: Bacteria » Acidobacteriota » Holophagae » Holophagales » Holophagaceae » Acidiparvus » Acidiparvus fluvialis
