Unusual biology across a group comprising more than 15% of domain Bacteria

TL;DR: This work reconstructed 8 complete and 789 draft genomes from bacteria representing >35 phyla and documented features that consistently distinguish these organisms from other bacteria, infer that this group, which may comprise >15% of the bacterial domain, has shared evolutionary history, and describe it as the candidate phyla radiation (CPR).
Journal ArticleDOI

Thousands of microbial genomes shed light on interconnected biogeochemical processes in an aquifer system

TL;DR: Terabase-scale cultivation-independent metagenomics is applied to aquifer sediments and groundwater and 2,540 draft-quality, near-complete and complete strain-resolved genomes are reconstructed, finding that few organisms within the community can conduct multiple sequential redox transformations.
