Abstract
The families Paracoccaceae and
Roseobacteraceae
comprise metabolically, phenotypically and genotypically diverse members, and their descriptions rely heavily on 16S rRNA gene analysis. Hundreds of genera have been reported within the two families and misclassifications have been a reoccurring problem, even when the taxonomies have been established based on genome-scale phylogenetic reconstructions. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive phylotaxonomic assessment of the families Paracoccaceae and
Roseobacteraceae
based on four ubiquitous gene sets, bac120 (120 genes in Bacteria), rhodo268 (268 genes in ‘
Rhodobacteraceae
’, defined in this study), rp1 (16 ribosomal protein genes in Prokaryote) and rp2 (23 ribosomal protein genes in Prokaryote), using two tree-inferring applications and two approaches (supermatrix and consensus). The results suggested that the four supermatrix trees based on bac120 and rhodo268 shared a high proportion of common nodes (>88.4 %) and the topology was reproducible among all the trees within most of the genera. The evolutionary distance (ED) analysis showed significant overlapping between the intergeneric and intrageneric comparisons, implying that the proposal of some genera seemed to be unnecessary. In addition, the bac120 gene set and the FastTree program were found to be the most cost-effective way to conduct phylogenomic analysis of the families Paracoccaceae and
Roseobacteraceae
. An ED threshold of 0.21–0.23 based on either bac120 or rhodo268 was proposed as one standard for later genus delimitation in these families. A comprehensive phylogenetic framework is presented in this study and the proposed genus definition will help to establish a more reasonable taxonomy in the families Paracoccaceae and
Roseobacteraceae
.

An Update on Novel Taxa and Revised Taxonomic Status of Bacteria (Including Members of the Phylum Planctomycetota) Isolated from Aquatic Host Species Described in 2018 to 2021. J Clin Microbiol 2023; 61:e0142622.

Abstract
Increased interest in farmed aquatic species, aquatic conservation measures, and microbial metabolic end-product utilization have translated into a need for awareness and recognition of novel microbial species and revisions to bacterial taxonomy. Because this need has largely been unmet, through a 4-year literature review, we present lists of novel and revised bacterial species (including members of the phylum Planctomycetota) derived from aquatic hosts that can serve as a baseline for future biennial summaries of taxonomic revisions in this field. Most new and revised taxa were noted within oxidase-positive and/or nonglucose fermentative Gram-negative bacilli, including members of the Tenacibaculum, Flavobacterium, and Vibrio genera. Valid and effectively published novel members of the Streptococcus, Erysipelothrix, and Photobacterium genera are additionally described from disease pathogenesis perspectives.
