RESUMEN

Cyanobacteriota, the sole prokaryotes capable of oxygenic photosynthesis (OxyP), occupy a unique and pivotal role in Earth's history. While the notion that OxyP may have originated from Cyanobacteriota is widely accepted, its early evolution remains elusive. Here, by using both metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, we explore 36 metagenome-assembled genomes from hot spring ecosystems, belonging to two deep-branching cyanobacterial orders: Thermostichales and Gloeomargaritales. Functional investigation reveals that Thermostichales encode the crucial thylakoid membrane biogenesis protein, vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1). Based on the phylogenetic results, we infer that the evolution of the thylakoid membrane predates the divergence of Thermostichales from other cyanobacterial groups and that Thermostichales may be the most ancient lineage known to date to have inherited this feature from their common ancestor. Apart from OxyP, both lineages are potentially capable of sulfide-driven AnoxyP by linking sulfide oxidation to the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Unexpectedly, this AnoxyP capacity appears to be an acquired feature, as the key gene sqr was horizontally transferred from later-evolved cyanobacterial lineages. The presence of two D1 protein variants in Thermostichales suggests the functional flexibility of photosystems, ensuring their survival in fluctuating redox environments. Furthermore, all MAGs feature streamlined phycobilisomes with a preference for capturing longer-wavelength light, implying a unique evolutionary trajectory. Collectively, these results reveal the photosynthetic flexibility in these early-diverging cyanobacterial lineages, shedding new light on the early evolution of Cyanobacteriota and their photosynthetic processes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The family Paenibacillaceae is linked to the order Caryophanales. Paenibacillaceae members residing in compost or soil play crucial roles in nutrient recycling and breaking down complex organic materials. However, our understanding of Paenibacillaceae remains limited. METHODS: Strain SYSU GA230002T was conclusively identified using a polyphasic taxonomic approach frequently utilized in bacterial systematics. Standard microbiological techniques were employed to characterize the morphology and biochemistry of strain SYSU GA230002T. RESULTS: An anaerobic and gram--negative bacterium, designated SYSU GA230002T, was isolated from geothermally heated soil of Tengchong, Yunnan Province, south-west China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genomes showed that strain SYSU GA230002T belongs to the family Paenibacillaceae. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (<94.0 %), ANI (<71.95 %) and AAI values (<58.67 %) between strain SYSU GA230002T with other members of the family were lower than the threshold values recommended for distinguishing novel species. Growth was observed at 30-45 °C (optimum, 37 °C), pH 7.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.5) and in 0-3.0 % (w/v) NaCl concentrations (optimum, 0 %). The major fatty acids detected were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0 and iso-C17:0. The polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified aminolipid and two unidentified glycolipids. The respiratory quinone was MK-7. The DNA G + C content of strain SYSU GA230002T was 49.87 %. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of morphological, physiological properties, and chemotaxonomic characteristics, this strain is proposed to represent a new species of a new genus Ferviditalea candida gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of the type species is SYSU GA230002T (=KCTC 25726T = GDMCC 1.4160T).

RESUMEN

A novel actinomycete, designated strain q2T, was isolated from the saline-alkaline soil, collected from Daqing, Heilongjiang province, China. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain q2T belongs to the genus Isoptericola, and showed the highest sequence similarity to Isoptericola halotolerans KCTC 19046T (98.48%) and Isoptericola chiayiensis KCTC 19740T (98.13%), respectively. The average nucleotide identity values between strain q2T and other members of the genus Isoptericola were lower than 95% recommended for distinguishing novel prokaryotic species. Cells of strain q2T were Gram-staining-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped and non-spore-forming. Colonies of strain q2T were golden-yellow pigmented, tidy edged and smooth surfaced. Growth occurred at 15-37 °C (optimum, 29 °C), pH 7.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0). The predominant respiratory quinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-9(H2). The main detected polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The peptidoglycan compositions were L-alanine, D-aspartic, L-glutamic acid and L-lysine (type A4α). The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were anteiso-C15:0, iso-C15:0, and anteiso-C17:0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 69.7%. Based on the phenotypic, physiological, genotypic, and phylogenetic data, strain q2T represents a novel species of the genus Isoptericola, for which the name Isoptericola croceus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is q2T (= GDMCC 1.2923T = KCTC 49759T).

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Genus Clostridium sensu stricto is generally regarded as the true Clostridium genus, which includes important human and animal pathogens and industrially relevant microorganisms. Besides, it is also a prominent member of plant-associated endophytes. However, our knowledge of endophytic Clostridium is limited. METHODS: In this study, the endophytes were isolated under anaerobic condition from the roots of Paris polyphylla Smith var. yunnanensis. Subsequently, a polyphasic taxonomic approach was used to clarify their taxonomic positions. The fermentation products were measured in the isolates with HPLC analysis. Comparative genomics was performed on these new strains and other relatives. RESULTS: In total, nine endophytic strains belonging to the genus Clostridium sensu stricto were isolated, and three of them were identified as new species. Seven of nine strains could produce acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Only two strains could produce ethanol, although genomics analysis suggested that only two of them were without genes for solventogenesis. Different from the endophytic strains, the phylogenetically closely related non-endophytic strains showed significant enrichment effects on some metabolic pathways involving environmental information processing, carbohydrate, and amino acid metabolisms, etc. It suggests that the genomes of these endophytic strains had undergone subtle changes associated with environmental adaptations. CONCLUSION: Consequently, strains YIM B02505T, YIM B02515T, and YIM B02565T are proposed to represent a new species of the genus Clostridium sensu stricto, for which the names Clostridium yunnanense sp. nov., Clostridium rhizosphaerae sp. nov., and Clostridium paridis sp. nov. are suggested.

RESUMEN

A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, short rod-shaped and aerobic bacterial strain, designated as CFH 74456 T, was isolated from sediment of a hot spring, Tengchong, Yunnan Province, south-western China. Growth occurred at 20-53 ºC (optimum 45 ºC), pH 7.0-9.0 (optimum pH 8.0) and up to 2.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0-1.0%, w/v). The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major fatty acids (> 10%) were C17:1 ω6c (17.9%) and summed feature 8 (38.6%). The polar lipid profile of strain CFH 74456 T was identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, sphingoglycolipid, three unidentified glycolipids and three unidentified polar lipids. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain CFH 74456 T belongs to the genus Qipengyuania, and was most closely related to Qipengyuania sediminis CGMCC 1.12928 T (95.7%). The draft genome size of the isolate was 2.29 Mb with G + C content of 68.5%. The amino acid identity, average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain CFH 74456 T and the closest relatives ranged from 67.0 to 67.9%, 73.0 to 74.2% and 18.2-19.3%, respectively. On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic analyses, it is concluded that strain CFH 74456 T represents a new species of the genus Qipengyuania, for which the name Qipengyuania thermophila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CFH 74456 T (= KCTC 62921 T = CCTCC AB 2018237 T).

RESUMEN

A thermophilic bacterium, designated strain SYSU G04325T, was isolated from a hot spring sediment in Yunnan, China. Polyphasic taxonomic analyses and whole-genome sequencing were used to determine the taxonomic position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SYSU G04325T shows high sequence similarity to Thermoflexibacter ruber NBRC 16677T (86.2%). The strain can be differentiated from other species of the family Thermoflexibacteraceae by its distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Cells of the strain SYSU G04325T were observed to be aerobic, Gram-stain negative and filamentous. Growth was found to occur optimally at 45 ºC and pH 7.0. In addition, the respiratory quinone was identified as menaquinone-7, while the major fatty acids (> 10%) were identified as iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 and Summed Feature 9 (iso-C17:1ω9c). The polar lipids detected included phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified phospholipids, one unidentified glycolipid, five unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified polar lipids. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 47.6% based on the draft genome sequence. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SYSU G04325T is concluded to represent a novel species of a novel genus in the family Thermoflexibacteraceae, for which the name Rhodoflexus caldus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Rhodoflexus caldus is SYSU G04325T (= MCCC 1K06127T = KCTC 82848T).

RESUMEN

Phylogenomic analyses were performed on the nine species of the genus Meiothermus and four species of the genus Calidithermus. Phylogenetic analysis, low values of genomic relatedness indices and functional diversity analysis indicated that Meiothermus silvanus should not be classified within the clades for Meiothermus and Calidithermus but instead be reclassified as a new genus, for which we propose the name Allomeiothermus gen. nov., with Allomeiothermus silvanus comb. nov. as type species. In addition, the species Meiothermus cateniformans Zhang et al. (Int J Syst Evol Microbial 60:840-844, 2010) should also be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of Meiothermus taiwanensis Chen et al. (Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 52:1647-1654, 2002) emend. Raposo et al. (2019). This reclassification is based on the high genomic relatedness indices (98.8% ANI; 90.2% dDDH; 99% AAI) that are above the threshold values necessary for defining a new species, as well as on the observation of overlapping functions on Principal Coordinate Analysis plot generated from Clusters of Orthologous Genes.

RESUMEN

A novel bacterium, designated strain APA_H-1(4)T, was isolated from the saline-alkaline soil, Zhaodong, Heilongjiang Province, China. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic analyses, and whole-genome sequencing were used to determine the taxonomic position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolate belongs to the genus Oceanobacillus, and showed the highest sequence similarity to O. damuensis KCTC 33146T (98.35%, similarity) and 'O. massiliensis' DSM 24644 (98.32%). The average nucleotide identity values between strain APA_H-1(4)T and other members of the genus Oceanobacillus were lower than 82% recommended for distinguishing novel prokaryotic species. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of strain APA_H-1(4)T with O. damuensis KCTC 33146T and 'O. massiliensis' DSM 24644 were 13.60 and 17.60%, respectively. Cells of strain APA_H-1(4)T were Gram-staining positive, motile, aerobic, spore-forming rods (0.5-0.7 × 1.8-2.6 µm) with flagella. The growth was found to occur optimally at 37 °C. The whole-cell hydrolysate contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic cell wall diamino acid. The main detected polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified polar lipid. The predominant respiratory quinone was identified as menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The major cellular fatty acid (>10%) was anteiso-C15:0. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 38.4% based on the draft genome sequence. Based on the comparative analysis of polyphasic taxonomic data, strain APA_H-1(4)T represents a novel species of the genus Oceanobacillus, for which the name Oceanobacillus saliphilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is APA_H-1(4)T (=GDMCC 1.2239T = KCTC 43254T).

RESUMEN

Two bacterial strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were isolated from hot springs in Tibet, China. Based on the results of nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenetic analyses, strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were assigned to the family Sphingosinicellaceae, and were closest to Sandaracinobacter sibiricus RB16-17 T (96.04% and 96.12% similarity, respectively). Cells of the both new strains were observed to be motile rod-shape, Gram-staining negative. Growth occurred at pH 6-8 (optimal: pH 7.0) and 37-55 °C (optimal: 45 °C) with 0-1.0% (w/v) NaCl in T4 broth. The cells were found to be positive for oxidase and catalase activities. The major respiratory ubiquinone was Q-8. The major fatty acids were identified as summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), C16:0, C14:0 2-OH. The major polar lipids were found to consist of sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, one unidentified phospholipid, one unidentified glycolipid, three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G + C contents of strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 were 71.8%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) value between strain SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 was 99.98%. The amino acid identity (AAI) values between them and their closely related species were below 66.14%. The isolates are characterized by aerobic growth, a yellow endocellular pigment and a higher optimum growth temperature. The results showed that strains SYSU G02173T and SYSU G03142 represent a novel species of a novel genus in the family Sphingomonadaceae, and thus the name Thermaurantiacus tibetensis (type strain SYSU G02173T = KCTC 72052 T = CGMCC 1.16680 T) is proposed.

RESUMEN

Two anaerobic bacteria, designated strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107, were isolated from a hot spring in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, south-west PR China. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 belong to the family Dysgonamonadaceae. Cells of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped and non-motile. The major fatty acids (>10 %) of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were identified as anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 3OH. The polar lipid profile of strain SYSU GA16112T was found to consist of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids, two unidentified aminolipids and one unidentified polar lipid, while that of strain SYSU GA16107 consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified polar lipids, three unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified phosphoglycolipids and one unidentified aminolipid. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 were determined to be 41.90 and 41.89 %, respectively, and the average nucleotide identity value between them was 99.99 %. Based on their morphological and physiological properties, and results of phylogenetic analyses, strains SYSU GA16112T and SYSU GA16107 are considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name Seramator thermalis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain SYSU GA16112T=CGMCC 1.5281T=KCTC 15753T) is proposed.

RESUMEN

In our search for novel anaerobes with potential carbohydrate polymers degrading activity, we have isolated a xylan-degrading bacterial strain SYSU GA17129T from an anammox bacteria dominant wastewater treatment plant. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated the strain SYSU GA17129T belong to the order Clostridiales and shared highest sequence identity with Caldicoprobacter faecalis DSM 20678T (89.9%). The strain was thermophilic, obligately anaerobic, non-motile and rod shaped. Optimum growth of the strain was observed at 45 °C, pH 8.0 and in the presence of 0.5% NaCl (w/v). The chemotaxonomic features of the strain SYSU GA17129T comprised of C14:0 FAME, iso-C15:0 FAME and C16:0 FAME as the major fatty acids (>10%), diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified polar lipids and two unidentified glycolipids as its polar lipids, and meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP) as the diamino acid in peptidoglycan. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 35.9%. The strain could be distinguished from other defined families within the order Clostridiales by the differences in phenotypic and physiological characteristics, distinct phylogenetic lineage in 16S rRNA gene- and genome-based phylogenies and low genomic relatedness index. Based on these distinguishing properties, strain SYSU GA17129T is proposed to represent a new species of a new genus Xylanivirga thermophila gen. nov., sp. nov., within a new family Xylanivirgaceae fam. nov. The type species of the new taxon is SYSU GA17129T (=KCTC 15754T = CGMCC 1.5282T). This strain is characterized within the order Clostridiales, class Clostridia of the phylum Firmicutes.

RESUMEN

One thermophilic bacterium, designated strain SYSU G02662T, was isolated from hot spring sediment sampled in Tibet, PR China. Polyphasic taxonomic analyses and whole-genome sequencing were used to determine the taxonomy position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SYSU G02662T showed the highest sequence similarity to Actinomarinicola tropica SCSIO 58843T (95.1 %). The strain could be differentiated from other species of the family Iamiaceae by its distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Cells of strain SYSU G02662T were aerobic, Gram-staining-positive and short rodshaped. Growth occurred optimally at 45 °C and pH 7.0. In addition, meso-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The respiratory quinone was MK-9 (H8), while the major fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The detected polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and phosphatidylinositol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.5 % based on the draft genomic sequence. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SYSU G02662T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Iamiaceae, for which the name Rhabdothermincola sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the proposed novel species is SYSU G02662T (=CGMCC 4.7688T=KCTC 49500T).

RESUMEN

Being exposed to specific syndromes of Chinese medicine (CM) and being compatible with other Chinese herbs are two necessary methods for controlling the toxicity of toxic Chinese herbs. The complexity of Chinese herbal components causes the difficulties in in-depth study of toxicity control. Under the guidance of systems biology, authors studied protein expression profiles and metabolite spec- trums by Chinese herbal compatible components intervening animal model with specific syndrome of CM, thus clarifying corresponding biomarkers relevant to toxicity reducing and control. Authors found out key molecules and pathways for toxicity reducing and control by molecular network technologies using and o- verlaying information integrating. All these mentioned above were finally verified by molecular biologic methods, therefore, revealing the molecular mechanism of toxicity control effects of Chinese herbal compatible components in specific syndromes of CM.

RESUMEN

Clinical application evaluation research of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Diseases of Pediatrics in Traditional Chinese Medicine intends to evaluate the quality level and clinical application of the guideline. A questionnaire and prospective case survey methods were used to evaluate the applicability evaluation based on the clinician questionnaire and the application evaluation based on clinical case observation. The applicability evaluation, familiarity and utilization rate of doctors' guidelines were 85.06%, 62.76%; Sort by technical grade, intermediate grade doctors have a higher familiarity rate and utilization rate, while the junior grade doctor's is lower; Guide quality level of applicability evaluation, other items' rational percentage are better than 96% except the items of health preserving and prevention and other treatment is relatively low; Items' applicable percentage of applicability evaluation are more than 91% except the item of guide simplicity. Comprehensive applicability evaluation, The percentage of the guideline applicable to clinical practice accounted for 94.94%. The consistency rate of syndrome differentiation and clinical application is more than 96% in addition to prescription medication, other treatments and health preserving and prevention of the guidelines apply consistency of application evaluation. The percentage of good treatment effect accounted for 92.96% of application effect evaluation. The safety percentage is 99.89% and economy is 97.45%. The research shows that of Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Common Diseases of Pediatrics in Traditional Chinese Medicine quality level is good and is basically applicable to pediatric clinical practice which can be used as a standardized recommendation of pediatric common diseases' treatment specification. A small part of the guidelines are not applicable and need to be further consummated. Health preserving and prevention and other treatment of the guideline need to be revised.

RESUMEN

To explore the pharmacological mechanism of glycyrrhizin with series methods of systems pharmacology, main diseases related to glycyrrhizin were obtained by text mining tool; and the target proteins of glycyrrhizin were obtained via the database of Polysearch and PubChem. Then, the target proteins interaction network of glycyrrhizin was built using the software called Cytoscape. Next, the protein groups related to glycyrrhizin were analyzed by using Gene Ontology (GO) tool, and the action pathway of its target proteins was analyzed by using enrichment method. Text mining results showed that the related diseases of glycyrrhizin included chronic hepatitis C, chronic hepatitis, hepatitis, HIV virus, liver cancer and so on. Gene ontology analysis indicated that glycyrrhizin played a role mainly through modification of proteins and chromatin. The signaling pathway enrichment results showed that the main action proteins of glycyrrhizin were related to MAPK signaling pathway, toll-like receptor signaling pathway, neurotrophic factor signaling pathway, cancer and apoptosis pathways. So we can conclude that glycyrrhizin may exert its biological functions primarily by regulating multiple pathways such as MAPK signaling pathway and Toll-like receptors signaling pathway. The pharmacological action of a drug can be rapidly and comprehensively analyzed by the ways of systems pharmacology.

RESUMEN

As the core of traditional Chinese medicine theory, Zheng (syndrome, or pattern) classification will promote personalized medicine by changing the clinical diagnosis into a more precise mode when integrating Zheng classification with disease diagnosis approaches. The author adopted rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a disease model, to explore the scientific fundamentals of Zheng classification based on disease diagnosis using systemic biological approaches and evidence-based medicine design, as well as developed novel approaches on the methodology of clinical effectiveness evaluation on Chinese medicine and R&D of combinational drugs design based on Fu Fang (Chinese herbal formula). Some unique research design and methods are herein introduced.

RESUMEN

The property theory of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is regarded as the core and basic of Chinese medical theory, however, the underlying mechanism of the properties in CHMs remains unclear, which impedes a barrier for the modernization of Chinese herbal medicine. The properties of CHM are often categorized into cold and heat according to the theory of Chinese medicine, which are essential to guide the clinical application of CHMs. There is an urgent demand to build a cold/heat property classification model to facilitate the property theory of Chinese herbal medicine, as well as to clarify the controversial properties of some herbs. Based on previous studies on the cold/heat properties of CHM, in this paper, we described a novel strategy on building a cold/heat property classification model based on herbal bio-effect. The interdisciplinary cooperation of systems biology, pharmacological network, and pattern recognition technique might lighten the study on cold/heat property theory, provide a scientific model for determination the cold/heat property of herbal medicines, and a new strategy for expanding the Chinese herbal medicine resources as well.

RESUMEN

Biodegradation stands as an eco-friendly and effective approach for organic contaminant remediation. However, research on microorganisms degrading sodium benzoate contaminants in extreme environments remains limited. In this study, we report to display the isolation of a novel hot spring enriched cultures with sodium benzoate (400 mg/L) as the sole carbon source. The results revealed that the phylum Pseudomonadota was the potential sodium benzoate degrader and a novel genus within the family Geminicoccaceae of this phylum. The isolated strain was named Benzoatithermus flavus SYSU G07066T and was isolated from HNT-2 hot spring samples. Genomic analysis revealed that SYSU G07066T carried benABC genes and physiological experiments indicated the ability to utilize sodium benzoate as a sole carbon source for growth, which was further confirmed by transcriptomic data with expression of benABC. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) plays a significant role in acquiring sodium benzoate degradation capability among prokaryotes, and SYSU G07066T might have acquired benABC genes through HGT from the family Acetobacteraceae. The discovery of the first microorganism with sodium benzoate degradation function from a hot spring enhances our understanding of the diverse functions within the family Geminicoccaceae. This study unearths the first novel genus capable of efficiently degrading sodium benzoate and its evolution history at high temperatures, holding promising industrial applications, and provides a new perspective for further exploring the application potential of hot spring "microbial dark matter".
