Phylogenetically Novel Uncultured Microbial Cells Dominate Earth Microbiomes

ABSTRACT To describe a microbe’s physiology, including its metabolism, environmental roles, and growth characteristics, it must be grown in a laboratory culture. Unfortunately, many phylogenetically novel groups have never been cultured, so their physiologies have only been inferred from genomics an...
