Comparative genomics of Fervidobacterium: a new phylogenomic landscape of these wide-spread thermophilic anaerobes
The additional genome sequences described in this work and the comparison with all available Fervidobacterium genome sequences provided new insights into the evolutionary history of this genus and supported a phylogenetic reclassification. The phylogenomic results from OrthoANI and TYGS analyses revealed that F. riparium and F. gondwanense belong to the same genome species, and includes Fervidobacterium sp. 13770, while "F. pennivorans" strain DYC belongs to a separate genome species, whereas Fervidobacterium sp. 21710 and Fervidobacterium sp. GSH within the Fervidobacterium pennivorans clade represent two subspecies. F. changbaicum is reclassified as F. islandicum.
