Taxonomy

Description
Aerobic, chemoorganoheterotrophic, and oligotrophic. Cells are small, curved rods roughly 1 × 0.1 µm. Non-motile. On the basis of phylogenomics and 16S rRNA gene phylogenetics, subclade IIIb/LD12 occurs on a separate branch within the Pelagibacteraceae (SAR11), sister to subclade IIIa containing strains HIMB114 and IMCC9063. Owing to the depth of branching between these clades using concatenated protein-coding genes, and the 92 and 91% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with HIMB114 and IMCC9063, respectively, we propose LSUCC0530 and subclade IIIb/LD12 as a novel genus in the Pelagibacteraceae.
