In spiders, the role of the microbiome in these processes remains mostly unknown. We 21 compared the microbiome between populations, individuals, and tissue types of a range-expanding 22 spider, using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Our study is one of the first to go beyond targeting known 23 endosymbionts in spiders, and characterizes the total microbiome across different body 24 compartments (leg, prosoma, hemolymph, book lungs, ovaries, silk glands, midgut, and fecal 25 pellets).

The minimal standards are intended to provide bacteriologists involved in the taxonomy of members of the suborder Micrococcineae with a set of essential requirements for the description of new taxa. In addition to sequence data comparisons of 16S rRNA genes or other appropriate conservative genes, phenotypic and genotypic criteria are compiled which are considered essential for the comprehensive characterization of new members of the suborder Micrococcineae. Additional features are recommended for the characterization and differentiation of genera and species with validly published names.

Here we analyze the genus Curtobacterium, as it was found to be the most abundant taxon in a leaf litter community in southern California. Traditional characterization of this taxon predominantly associates it as the causal pathogen in the agricultural crops of dry beans. Therefore, we sought to investigate whether the abundance of this genus was because of its role as a plant pathogen or another ecological role.
