Table 1 Genome comparison and quality validation between “Ca. P. korallensis” and its relatives. There are eight relatives for which genome is available including Chlorobium phaeobacteroides BS1, Prosthecochloris aestuarii DSM 271, Chlorobium limicola DSM 245, Chlorobium phaeobacteroides DSM 266, Chlorobium ferrooxidans DSM 13031, Chlorobium phaeovibrioides DSM 265, Chlorobaculum parvum NCIB 8327, and Chlorobaculum tepidum TLS. Total and unique essential single-copy genes (ESCGs) were evaluated using the genome binning program package. Completeness (%) and contamination (%) were validated by CheckM.
