Small and mighty: adaptation of superphylum Patescibacteria to groundwater environment drives their genome simplicity

Abstract Background The newly defined superphylum Patescibacteria such as Parcubacteria (OD1) and Microgenomates (OP11) has been found to be prevalent in groundwater, sediment, lake, and other aquifer environments. Recently increasing attention has been paid to this diverse superphylum including >...
