Robust demarcation of the family Peptostreptococcaceae and its main genera based on phylogenomic studies and taxon-specific molecular markers.
Abstract
The family Peptostreptococcaceae, which contains 15 genera including Clostridioides, presently lacks proper circumscription. Using 52 available genomes for Peptostreptococcaceae species, we report comprehensive phylogenomic and comparative analyses to reliably discern their evolutionary relationships. In phylogenetic trees based on core genome proteins and 16S rRNA gene sequences, the examined species formed a strongly supported clade …
