Cometabolism of the Superphylum Patescibacteria with Anammox Bacteria in a Long-Term Freshwater Anammox Column Reactor (2021, methodology): “The numbers in square brackets on the horizontal axis represent the following genes: [1] ammonia oxidation (amoA and amoBC, pmmo), [2] hydroxylamine oxidation (hao), [3] nitrite oxidation (nxrAB), [4] dissimilatory nitrate reduction (narGH and/or napAB), [5] DNRA (nirBD and/or nrfAH), [6] nitrite re”
Linking metagenomics to aquatic microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycles (2019, background): “…bacterial MAG reconstructions from deep aquifers and other environments has dramatically increased known phylum level diversity by discovery of the Candidate Phylum Radiation within the bacterial domain (Brown et al. 2015; Hug et al. 2016), and a revised phylogeny of bacteria (Parks et al. 2018).”
Computational approaches to predict bacteriophage–host relationships (2015, background): “…genome space is increasingly sampled by sequencing cultured strains, single cells and assembling metagenomes, we still lack genome sequences for most host strains of naturally occurring phages (Wu et al. 2009; Rinke et al. 2013; Dutilh et al. 2014; Brown et al. 2015; Garza and Dutilh 2015).”
Recovery of nearly 8,000 metagenome-assembled genomes substantially expands the tree of life (2017, background): “Cyanobacteria (48) Thermotogae (11) Acetothermia (10) Dictyoglomi Coprothermo.”
Thousands of microbial genomes shed light on interconnected biogeochemical processes in an aquifer system (2016, methodology): “Thirty of these new phylum-level lineages belong to the recently described Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) 17 and two afﬁliate with the Proteobacteria (Fig.”
Major New Microbial Groups Expand Diversity and Alter our Understanding of the Tree of Life. (2018, neutral): “Although the deep branching order is not well supported, it is possible that the root of the bacterial domain is placed between well-known bacteria (including the commonly known major lineages, such as Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Cyanobacteria, with well-studied representatives) ”
Where less may be more: how the rare biosphere pulls ecosystems strings (2017, background): “Single-cell genomics (Hedlund et al., 2014) and reconstructed genomes (Brown et al., 2015; Youssef et al., 2015) can provide valuable insights regarding the metabolic capabilities, physiological preferences, genomic architecture and ecological roles of candidate phyla.”
New CRISPR-Cas systems from uncultivated microbes (2016, methodology): “These bacteria typically have small cell sizes, very small genomes and a limited biosynthetic capacity 6,30–32 , indicating they are most likely symbionts 6,30–33 .”
Assembling metagenomes, one community at a time (2017, background): “However, within the scope of metagenome assembly, essential details are often omitted when describing methods [56].”
