Genome-based taxonomic classification of the genus Sulfitobacter along with the proposal of a new genus Parasulfitobacter gen. nov. and exploring the gene clusters associated with sulfur oxidation
Abstract Background The genus Sulfitobacter, a member of the family Roseobacteraceae, is widely distributed in the ocean and is believed to play crucial roles in the global sulfur cycle.However, gene clusters associated with sulfur oxidation in genomes of the type strains of this genus have been poorly studied.Furthermore, taxonomic errors have bee
