The deciphering of the phylogenetic diversity and metabolic features of the abundant bacterial taxa is critical for exploring their ecological importance and application potential.Qipengyuania is a genus of frequently isolated heterotrophic microorganisms with great industrial application potential. Numerous strains related to the genusQipengyuania have been isolated from diverse environments, but their genomic diversity and metabolic functions remain unclear.
