'Candidatus Viridifilum namsaraevi' gen. nov., sp. nov., a new mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium from the mesothermal lake Umkhey (Buryatia).
The evolution of phototrophy and carbon fixation in the phylum Chloroflexota remains incompletely understood, largely due to the scarcity of cultured mesophilic representatives. Here, we report the isolation and genomic characterization of a novel filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium from a microbial mat in th...
