However, from the 2019-2020 to 2023-2024 Florida strawberry seasons, unusual bacterial-like symptoms were observed in commercial farms, with reports of up to 30 % disease incidence. Typical lesions were water-soaked and angular in early stages that later became necrotic with a circular-ellipsoidal purple halo, and consistently yielded colonies resembling <i>Pseudomonas</i> on culture media. Strains were pathogenic on strawberry, fluorescent, oxidase- and arginine-dihydrolase-negative, elicited a hypersensitive reaction on tobacco, and lacked pectolytic activity.

MK-D1<sup>T</sup> showed the fastest growth and highest maximum cell yield when grown with yeast extract as the substrate: approximately 3 months to full growth, reaching up to 6.7×10<sup>6</sup> 16S rRNA gene copies ml<sup>-1</sup>. MK-D1<sup>T</sup> had a circular 4.32 Mb chromosome with a DNA G+C content of 31.1 mol%. The results of phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and conserved marker proteins indicated that the strain is affiliated with 'Asgard' archaea and more specifically DHVC1/DSAG/MBG-B and 'Lokiarchaeota'/'Lokiarchaeia'. On the basis of the results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the most closely related isolated relatives were <i>Infirmifilum lucidum</i> 3507LT<sup>T</sup> (76.09 %) and <i>Methanothermobacter tenebrarum</i> RMAS<sup>T</sup> (77.45 %) and the closest relative in enrichment culture was <i>Candidatus</i> 'Lokiarchaeum ossiferum' (95.39 %). The type strain of the type species is MK-D1<sup>T</sup> (JCM 39240<sup>T</sup> and JAMSTEC no. 115508). We propose the associated family, order, class, phylum, and kingdom as <i>Promethearchaeaceae</i> fam. nov., <i>Promethearchaeales</i> ord. nov., <i>Promethearchaeia</i> class. nov., <i>Promethearchaeota</i> phyl. nov., and <i>Promethearchaeati</i> regn. nov., respectively. These are in accordance with ICNP Rules 8 and 22 for nomenclature, Rule 30(3)(b) for validation and maintenance of the type strain, and Rule 31a for description as a member of an unambiguous syntrophic association.</p>","PeriodicalId":14390,"journal":{"name":"International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11316595/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141534396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
