Register list for 6 new names including Sacchlamyda saccharinae sp. nov.

Submitted by Davison, Helen Rebecca

Genus Sacchariniichlamydia

Etymology: [Sac.cha.ri.ni.i.chla.my'di.a] N.L. fem. n. Saccharina, the putative algal host of the bacterium, Saccharina japonica; N.L. fem. n. Chlamydia, the bacterial genus Chlamydia; N.L. fem. n. Sacchariniichlamydia, Chlamydia related bacteria from Saccharina algae
Nomenclatural type: Species Sacchariniichlamydia saccharinae^Ts
Description: A genus of Rhabdochlamydiaceae bacteria. The type species was extracted through a metagenomic assembly pipeline from the seaweed Saccharina japonica. Genus status was established on the basis of sharing <65% Average Amino-acid Identity (AAI) with any other Rhabdochlamydiaceae bacteria, as well as phylogenetic analysis of single copy core amino acids from 112 Chlamydiae bacteria. Analysis using the GTDB-tk pipeline assigned the type genome to an unnamed Rhabdochlamydiaceae genus.
Classification: Bacteria » Chlamydiota » Chlamydiia » Parachlamydiales » “Rhabdochlamydiaceae” » Sacchariniichlamydia

Genus Amphritriteisimkania

Etymology: [Am.phri.tri.te.i.sim.ka'ni.a] N.L. fem. n. Amphritrite, from Gr. Amphritrite, wife of Poseidon; N.L. fem. n. Simkania, the bacterial genus Simkania; N.L. fem. n. Amphritriteisimkania, the "Simkania" of Amphritrite
Nomenclatural type: Species Amphritriteisimkania amoebophyrae^Ts
Description: A genus of Simkaniaceae bacteria. The type species was extracted through a metagenomic assembly pipeline from the syndinian parasite Amoebophrya sp. AT5.2. Genus status was established on the basis of sharing <65% Average Amino-acid Identity (AAI) with any other Simkaniaceae bacteria, as well as phylogenetic analysis of single copy core amino acids from 112 Chlamydiae bacteria. Analysis using the GTDB-tk pipeline assigned the type genome to an unnamed Simkaniaceae genus.
Classification: Bacteria » Chlamydiota » Chlamydiia » Chlamydiales » Simkaniaceae » Amphritriteisimkania

Genus Acherontichlamydia

Etymology: [A.che.ron.ti.chla.my'di.a] L. masc. n. Acheron, the Greek mythological river that flows above and below ground through swamps and caverns; N.L. fem. fem. n. Chlamydia, the bacterial genus Chlamydia; N.L. fem. n. Acherontichlamydia, the Chlamydia from Acheron
Nomenclatural type: Species Acherontichlamydia pituitae^Ts
Description: A genus of Rhabdochlamydiaceae bacteria. The type species was identified though the NCBI nr database with bait sequences from other Rhabdochlamydiaceae. Genus status was established on the basis of sharing <65% Average Amino-acid Identity (AAI) with any other Rhabdochlamydiaceae bacteria, as well as phylogenetic analysis of single copy core amino acids from 112 Chlamydiae bacteria. Analysis using the GTDB-tk pipeline assigned the type genome to an unnamed Rhabdochlamydiaceae genus.

Species Sacchariniichlamydia saccharinae^Ts

Etymology: [sac.cha.ri'nae] N.L. gen. n. saccharinae, of Saccharina seaweed
Nomenclatural type: NCBI Assembly: GCA_030408505.1 ^Ts
Description: A species of Rhabdochlamydiaceae bacteria. The type species was extracted through a metagenomic assembly pipeline applied to the seaweed Saccharina japonica (accession SRR2043156). Species status was established based on sharing <95% Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) with any other Rhabdochlamydiaceae.
