Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that strains FJH62^T and FJH65^T shared 88.9–89.0 % identity with <em>Saccharicrinis carchari</em> SS12^T, while strain FJH54^T had the maximum similarity of 88.8 % to <em>Carboxylicivirga taeanensis</em> MEBiC 08093^T. Whole-genome relatedness indices further distinguished these isolates from other relatives, falling below the established thresholds, with strains FJH62^T, FJH65^T, and FJH54^T identified as three distinct novel species. Phylogenetic analysis based on both 16S rRNA gene and whole genome sequences indicated that these three novel strains form a monophyletic branch within the order <em>Bacteroidales</em>. These isolates were distinguished from their closest relatives by the presence of MK-10 as the major respiratory quinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipids, and phospholipids as the predominant polar lipids.

In this study, we analyzed 20 high-quality genomes forming 7 clusters on a phylogenetic tree constructed from concatenated sequences of 120 conserved genes, and investigated the distribution of metabolic genes.

The average amino acid identities between the <em>Sphaerotilus</em>-<em>Leptothrix</em> genomes vary from 65 to 94.21%.

However, there are also species belonging to this genus that do not possess this trait. In addition, the difference of up to 9 % of the 16S rRNA gene sequences of 33 type strains compared with the first isolated type species, <em>A. acidocaldarius</em> DSM 446^T, exceeds the 5.5 % threshold, which is typically used for the demarcation of a genus. This suggested that the taxonomy of the genus required a re-examination. We performed a phylogenomic and chemotaxonomic survey of the genus <em>Alicyclobacillus</em>. Phylogenetic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene and comparison of whole proteomes reconstructed from their genomes reveal that the genus <em>Alicyclobacillus</em> is reflected by two distinct clades; one represented by 14 type strains with a &gt;94.1 % 16S rRNA gene similarity to <em>A. acidocaldarius</em> DSM 446^T, and a second clade (composed of 14 type strains including <em>A. cycloheptanicus</em>) with a similarity of 91–94 %. This distinction fits well with their reported ability to produce alicyclic FAs, also revealed by the detection of two putative biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) encoding their biosynthetic pathway in their genomes. The first BGC is responsible for the production of cyclohexane carboxylic acid-CoA and comprises five genes encoding proteins acting as an adjusted side branch of the shikimate pathway. The putative second BGC, responsible for production of cycloheptane carboxylic acid-CoA, comprises six genes encoding proteins acting as a side branch of the catabolic phenylacetic acid pathway. All <em>Alicyclobacillus</em> species of the first clade produce <em>ω</em>-cyclohexyl FAs and their genomes possess the corresponding BGC. In the second cluster, some species produce <em>ω</em>-cyclohexyl FAs, some produce <em>ω</em>-cycloheptyl FAs, whilst quite some members are not producing any alicyclic FAs. This corresponds to the presence or absence of the two BGCs in their genomes.
