Key facts
The Bacteroidota × polysaccharide-utilization-locus (PUL) carbohydrate-active-enzyme analysis did not satisfy the original absolute-zero Innovator-Exchange criterion at UniRef50 resolution. 1
Sankoff-parsimony diagnostics recovered a small relative horizontal-gene-transfer signal for Bacteroidota × PUL carbohydrate-active enzymes, with Cohen’s d = 0.15, so the final synthesis classified the result as a qualified pass or reframed finding rather than support for the original strong criterion. 1
The Bacteroidota focal clade showed 1.40× gut/rumen environmental enrichment with p < 10⁻³⁵. 1
Among 577 Bacteroidota species in the BacDive phenotype integration, the profile was saccharolytic and glycoside-hydrolase-rich, and anaerobic phenotypes occurred in 33.2% of records compared with 22.0% across the atlas. 1
AlphaEarth environmental embeddings with k = 10 clustering placed 729 Bacteroidota species across marine- and gut-associated clusters. 1
The Bacteroidota × PUL gene-neighborhood scans were deferred because large-scale Spark and pandas joins exceeded available memory. 1
The Bacteroidota PUL hypothesis set had an MGE-machinery rate of 0.00%, indicating that the focal KOs were not identified as predominantly phage, transposase, integrase, plasmid, insertion-sequence, or recombinase products in that analysis. 1
The synthesis-stage leaf_consistency value for Bacteroidota × PUL was 0.41, where leaf_consistency is the fraction of species in a recipient clade carrying a KO. 1
The lanthanide methylotrophy atlas refines this functional profile: Bacteroidota has calls for xoxf (the rare-earth-element-dependent methanol dehydrogenase marker) but zero annotations for mxaf, the calcium-dependent methanol dehydrogenase marker. These annotation-based calls do not establish enzyme activity or methylotrophic physiology. 2
The Bacteroidota result contributes to ecotype-environment-gene-content by linking clade-specific gene-function patterns with environmental enrichment and phenotype consistency. 1
It also contributes to environment-embedding-geography through the AlphaEarth clustering result and to pangenome-integration through integration of KO presence, GTDB phylogeny, environmental metadata, and gene-context measurements. 1
The new atlas evidence supports the pangenome-integration connection by adding GTDB-r214-stratified, cross-genome marker distributions to the existing KO and environmental integration, while refining interpretation of gene-function evidence through marker-source calibration and annotation-gap caveats. 2
