UNUSUAL METABOLISM AND HYPERVARIATION IN THE GENOME OF A GRACILIBACTERIUM (BD1-5) FROM AN OIL-DEGRADING COMMUNITY

Unusual Metabolism and Hypervariation in the Genome of a Gracilibacterium (BD1-5) from an Oil-Degrading Community

ABSTRACT The candidate phyla radiation (CPR) comprises a large monophyletic group of bacterial lineages known almost exclusively based on genomes obtained using cultivation-independent methods.Within the CPR, Gracilibacteria (BD1-5) are particularly poorly understood due to undersampling and the inherent fragmented nature of available genomes.Here,
