Metalysinibacillus is a genus of Gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria in the family Caryophanaceae from the order Caryophanales.[1] The type species of this genus is Metalysinibacillus jejuensis.[2]
Members of Metalysinibacillus are previously species belonging to Lysinibacillus. Instead of branching with species from Lysinibacillus, these two species formed a monophyletic branch in various phylogenetic trees constructed based on conserved genome sequences, indicating their phylogenetic relatedness.[1] The family Caryophanaceae encompassed many branching anomalies such as this one, partially due to the reliance on 16S rRNA sequences as a method for classification, which is known to have low resolution power and give differing results depending on the algorithm used.[3] In 2020, a comparative genomic study emended the family, resulting in the establishment of three new genera, including Metalysinibacillus. [1]
The name Metalysinibacillus is derived from the Greek adjective meta, translating into "besides" and the Latin term Lysinibacillus, referring the genus name. Together, Metalysinibacillus can be translated as a genus besides Lysinibacillus. [1]
