“…Chitinophagaceae (phylum Bacteroidetes) comprises a ubiquitous bacterial family that was recently described in soil (Bailey, Fansler, Stegen, & McCue, 2013;Lv, Wang, Chen, You, & Qiu, 2016), freshwater (Leite et al, 2016;Siddiqi & Im, 2016), a hypersaline lake (Vavourakis et al, 2016), hot springs (Hanada, Tamaki, Nakamura, & Kamagata, 2014), maize roots (Gao et al, 2016) and human tumours (Lo et al, 2015). This is a clade with strong taxonomic support, even though few genomes have been fully sequenced to date.…”
