New globally distributed bacterial phyla within the fcb superphylum

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Interestingly, these genomes code for an unusually high proportion (~9% on average, up to 20% per genome) of protein families lacking representatives in public databases. Average amino_acid identity (AAI) analyses revealed the five phyla are distinct from each other and other phylogenetically related phyla (at most 51.9% AAI shared between two phyla) (Supplementary Fig 2 and Supplementary Data 4). Manual annotation of these neighboring proteins indicated they are potentially involved in sulfur reduction, energy conservation, as well as the degradation of organics such as starch, fatty_acids, and amino_acids (highlighted in red in Supplementary . . .
