TLDR
The genomes of both strains were compared to reveal their differences and led to a reclassification of D. carboxydivorans as a later heterotypic synonym ofD.Abstract:
Desulfotomaculum nigrificans and D. carboxydivorans are moderately thermophilic members of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Desulfotomaculum in the family Peptococcaceae. They are phylogenetically very closely related and belong to ‘subgroup a’ of the Desulfotomaculum cluster 1. D. nigrificans and D. carboxydivorans have a similar growth substrate spectrum; they can grow with glucose and fructose as electron donors in the presence of sulfate. Additionally, both species are able to ferment fructose, although fermentation of glucose is only reported for D. carboxydivorans. D. nigrificans is able to grow with 20% carbon monoxide (CO) coupled to sulfate reduction, while D. carboxydivorans can grow at 100% CO with and without sulfate. Hydrogen is produced during growth with CO by D. carboxydivorans. Here we present a summary of the features of D. nigrificans and D. carboxydivorans together with the description of the complete genome sequencing and annotation of both strains. Moreover, we compared the genomes of both strains to reveal their differences. This comparison led us to propose a reclassification of D. carboxydivorans as a later heterotypic synonym of D. nigrificans.read more

A Post-Genomic View of the Ecophysiology, Catabolism and Biotechnological Relevance of Sulphate-Reducing Prokaryotes
Ralf Rabus,Sofia S. Venceslau,Lars Wöhlbrand,Gerrit Voordouw,Judy D. Wall,Inês A. C. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: The wealth of publications in this period is a testimony to the large environmental, biogeochemical and technological relevance of these organisms and how much the field has progressed in these years, although many important questions and applications remain to be explored.

Review of Desulfotomaculum species and proposal of the genera Desulfallas gen. nov., Desulfofundulus gen. nov., Desulfofarcimen gen. nov. and Desulfohalotomaculum gen. nov.
TL;DR: The results of phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the genus Desulfotomaculum already has lost the clustering monophyly and was segregated into some distinct groups with low sequence similarity.

Notification of changes in taxonomic opinion previously published outside the IJSEM

TL;DR: The List of Changes in Taxonomic Opinion must be considered as a service to bacteriology and it has no ‘official character’, other than providing a centralized point for registering/indexing such changes in a way that makes them easily accessible to the scientific community.

TL;DR: Analysis of the genome sequences revealed that three genes were missing from pantothenate and thiamine biosynthetic pathways, and five genes were absent from the pathway for biotin biosynthesis, raising questions whether alternative steps exist in biotin and thienine biosynthesis pathways in these acetogens.

Shifting the genomic gold standard for the prokaryotic species definition
TL;DR: The work package JSpecies is examined as a user-friendly, biologist-oriented interface to calculate ANI and the correlation of the tetranucleotide signatures between pairwise genomic comparisons, and results agreed with the use of ANI to substitute DDH.

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolutionary relationship between CRISPR-Cas and Cas proteins is analyzed and a unified classification of these systems is proposed based on multiple criteria. But, the classification is based on the phylogenies of the most common cas genes, the sequence and organization of the CRISpr repeats and the architecture of the Cas loci.

Digital DNA-DNA hybridization for microbial species delineation by means of genome-to-genome sequence comparison
TL;DR: This work investigates state-of-the-art methods for inferring whole-genome distances in their ability to mimic DDH and finds that some distance formulas are very robust against missing fractions of genomic information.
