Novel thermophilic genera Geochorda gen. nov. and Carboxydochorda gen. nov. from the deep terrestrial subsurface reveal the ecophysiological diversity in the class Limnochordia

The class Limnochordia harbors a single cultivated member, the mesophilic Limnochorda pilosa, which was isolated from a meromictic lake. Despite numerous molecular signatures reported in various ecosystems, the ecophysiological versatility of this deeply branched lineage of Firmicutes (Bacillota) re...
