Abstract
Biofilm-forming cyanobacteria are abundant in mangrove ecosystems, colonizing various niches including sediment surface and periphyton where they can cover large areas, yet have received limited attention. Several filamentous isolates were recently isolated from Guadeloupe, illustrating the diversity and novelty present in these biofilms. In this study, nine strains belonging to three novel lineages found abundantly in Guadeloupe biofilms are characterized by genome sequencing, morphological and ultrastructural examination, metabolome fingerprinting and searched for secondary metabolites biosynthesis pathways. Assignation of two lineages to known genera is confirmed, namely Scytonema and Jaaginema. The third lineage corresponds to a new Coleofasciculales genus herein described as Karukerafilum gen. nov. The four strains belonging to this genus group into two subclades, one of which displays genes necessary for nitrogen fixation as well as the complete pathway for geosmin production. This study gives new insights into the diversity of mangrove biofilm-forming cyanobacteria, including genome-based description of a new genus and the first genome sequence available for the genus Jaaginema.
