Taxonomic, genomic, and ecological insights into a novel Flavobacteriaceae strain from coastal tidal flats
We isolated and characterized a novel bacterium, designated NBU2967<sup>T</sup> (= KCTC 82912<sup> T</sup> = MCCC 1K06391<sup>T</sup>), for which we propose the name Meishania litoralis gen. nov., sp. nov. This strain is classified as a new genus within the family Flavobacteriaceae. The strain's ability to process both carbon and sulfur compounds underscores its ecological significance in marine ecosystems. These findings provide novel insights into the ecological functions of the family Flavobacteriaceae in coastal tidal flats environments and enhance our understanding of microbial-mediated degradation and transformation of chemical compounds in dynamic coastal ecosystems.
