Abstract
Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 and Neochlamydia sp. strain AcF84 are obligate intracellular symbionts of Acanthamoeba spp. isolated from the biofilm of a littoral cave wall and gills from striped tiger leaf fish, respectively. We report the draft genome sequences of these two environmental chlamydiae affiliated with the family Parachlamydiaceae.
Highlights
Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 resides in Acanthamoeba sp. strain STE3, which was isolated from the biofilm of a littoral cave wall in Hawaii
Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 and the amoeba symbiont HS-T3 [15, 16] form a separate lineage affiliated with the Parachlamydiaceae in 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic trees
Based on an analysis of groups of orthologs using OrthoFinder [18], Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 shares 1,838 coding DNA sequences (CDSs) (91.5%) with other chlamydiae; 81 of these are unique to STE3 and HS-T3
Summary
Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 resides in Acanthamoeba sp. strain STE3, which was isolated from the biofilm of a littoral cave wall in Hawaii. Chlamydiales bacterium STE3 and the amoeba symbiont HS-T3 [15, 16] [17]) form a separate lineage affiliated with the Parachlamydiaceae in 16S rRNA-based phylogenetic trees.
