  abstract = {{T}he phylum {T}hermotogae gathers thermophilic, hyperthermophic, mesophilic, and thermo-acidophilic anaerobic bacteria that are mostly originated from geothermally heated environments. {T}he metabolic and phenotypic properties harbored by the {T}hermotogae species questions the evolutionary events driving the emergence of this early branch of the universal tree of life. {R}ecent reshaping of the {T}hermotogae taxonomy has led to the description of a new genus, {P}seudothermotoga, a sister group of the genus {T}hermotoga within the order {T}hermotogales. {C}omparative genomics of both {P}seudothermotoga and {T}hermotoga spp., including 16{S}-r{RNA}-based phylogenetic, pan-genomic analysis as well as signature indel conservation, provided evidence that {T}hermotoga caldifontis and {T}hermotoga profunda species should be reclassified within the genus {P}seudothermotoga and renamed as {P}seudothermotoga caldifontis comb. nov. (type strain = {AZM}44c09({T})) and {P}seudothermotogaprofunda comb. nov. (type strain ={AZM}34c06({T})), respectively. {I}n addition, based upon whole-genome relatedness indices and {DNA}-{DNA} {H}ybridization results, the reclassification of {P}seudothermotoga lettingae and {P}seudothermotoga subterranea as latter heterotypic synonyms of {P}seudothermotoga elfii is proposed. {F}inally, potential genetic elements resulting from the distinct evolutionary story of the {T}hermotoga and {P}seudothermotoga clades are discussed.},
