An Expanded Genomic Representation of the Phylum Cyanobacteria
Abstract: Molecular surveys of aphotic habitats have indicated the presence of major uncultured lineages phylogenetically classified as members of the Cyanobacteria. One of these lineages has recently been proposed as a nonphotosynthetic sister phylum to the Cyanobacteria, the Melainabacteria, based on recovery of population genomes from human gut and groundwater samples. Here, we expand the phylogenomic representation of the Melainabacteria through sequencing of six diverse population genomes from gut and bioreactor sa…

“…We found that Obscuribacteraceae MAGs were non‐photosynthetic, as previously observed for this group (Soo et al. 2014 ), with pathways for ethanol fermentation and fatty acid degradation instead (Figure S7B ).…”

“…Only MAGs from Nostocaceae had the capacity to fix nitrogen (Figure S7), which matches previously measured nitrogen fixation by this group at Melbourne (Broady et al 1987). We found that Obscuribacteraceae MAGs were non-photosynthetic, as previously observed for this group (Soo et al 2014), with pathways for ethanol fermentation and fatty acid degradation instead (Figure S7B).…”

“…In general, the resulting chronograms of runs T64, T65, T68, and T69 were consistent with the overall phylogenomic analyses revealing the sister relationship between Oxyphotobacteria and Melainabacteria described by both Soo et al. () and Di Rienzi et al. ().…”

“…In general, Nostocaceae was the most widely distributed and had a positive relationship with nickel and sulfur and was negatively correlated with GWC (Figure 4C). Only MAGs from Nostocaceae had the capacity to fix nitrogen (Figure S7), which matches previously measured nitrogen fixation by this group at Melbourne (Broady et al, 1987).We found that Obscuribacteraceae MAGs were non-photosynthetic, as previously observed for this group (Soo et al, 2014), with pathways for ethanol fermentation and fatty acid degradation instead (Figure S7B).…”
