Register list for Sumerlaea chitinivorans sp. nov., and its lineage in the phylum Sumerlaeota

Submitted by Ravin, Nikolai

Abstract

The phylum Sumerlaeota is defined on a phylogenetic basis by comparative 16S rRNA and genome sequence analysis of Sumerlaea chitinivorans BY40, Candidate division BRC1 bacterium HGW-BRC1-1, BRC1 bacterium SCGC AAA252-M09, BRC1 bacterium SCGC AAA257-C1, candidate division BRC1 bacterium SM23 51, and multiple uncultured representatives, inclusive of the formerly identified candidate division BRC1.
