Putative evolution of Myxococcus fulvus 124B02 plasmid pMF1 from a chromosomal segment in another Myxococcus species by Shruti Jain, Gaurav Sharma

“…To comprehend the relationship among these three species, we conducted phylogenetic analyses using 16S and concatenated housekeeping genes and genome-to-genome distance calculator (GGDC) analysis, which confirmed that M. stipitatus CYD1 is a distinct and novel species within the genus Myxococcus. Overall, this comparative genomic study sheds light on the putative emergence of the pMF1 plasmid from a common ancestor of closely related yet distinct species, M. stipitatus CYD1, possibly through the partition from its chromosome as a segment.IMPORTANCEMyxobacteria are not well known to have plasmids. …”
