Résumé
The family Staphylococcacae and genus Gemella contain several organisms of clinical or biotechnological importance. We report here comprehensive phylogenomic and comparative analyses on 112 available genomes from species in these taxa to clarify their evolutionary relationships and classification. In a phylogenomic tree based on 678 core proteins, Gemella species were separated from Staphylococcacae by a long branch indicating that they constitute a distinct family (Gemellaceae fam. nov.). In this tree, Staphylococcacae species formed two main clades, one encompassing the genera Aliicoccus, Jeotgalicoccus, Nosocomiicoccus and Salinicoccus (Family "Salinicoccaceae"), while the other clade consisted of the genera Macrococcus, Mammaliicoccus and Staphylococcus (Family Staphylococcaceae emend.). In this tree, species from the genera Gemella, Jeotgalicoccus, Macrococcus and Salinicoccus each formed two distinct clades. Two species clades for these genera are also observed in 16S rRNA gene trees and supported by average amino acid identity analysis. We also report here detailed analyses on protein sequences from Staphylococcaceae and Gemella genomes to identify conserved signature indels (CSIs) which are specific for different genus and family-level clades. These analyses have identified 120 novel CSIs robustly demarcating different proposed families and genera. The identified CSIs provide independent evidence that the genera Gemella, Jeotgalicoccus, Macrococcus and Salinicoccus consist of two distinct clades, which can be reliably distinguished based on multiple exclusively shared CSIs. We are proposing transfers of the species from the novel clades of the above four genera into the genera Gemelliphila gen. nov., Phocicoccus gen. nov., Macrococcoides gen. nov. and Lacicoccus gen. nov., respectively. The identified CSIs also provide strong evidence for division of Staphylococcaceae into an emended family Staphylococcaceae and two new families, Abyssicoccaceae fam. nov. and Salinicoccaceae fam. nov. All of these families can be reliably demarcated based on several exclusively shared CSIs.
