TL;DR: It is proposed that the Melainabacteria is a class within the phylogenetically defined Cyanobacteria based on robust monophyly and shared ancestral traits with photosynthetic representatives, consistent with theories that photosynthesis occurred late in the Cyanob bacteria and involved extensive lateral gene transfer.

Photosynthesis is not a universal feature of the phylum Cyanobacteria
Rochelle M. Soo,Connor T. Skennerton,Yuji Sekiguchi,Michael Imelfort,Samuel J. Paech,Paul G. Dennis,Jason A. Steen,Donovan H. Parks,Gene W. Tyson,Philip Hugenholtz +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the Melainabacteria is a class within the phylogenetically defined Cyanobacteria based on robust monophyly and shared ancestral traits with photosynthetic representatives, and refutes the long held belief that oxygenic photosynthesis is a universal feature of this phylum.
