Gut microorganisms are comprised of thousands of species and play an important role in the host’s metabolism, overall health status, and risk of disease. Recently, the discovery of non-photosynthetic cyanobacteria (class “Melainabacteria”) in the human and animal gut triggered a broad interest in studying cyanobacteria’s evolution, physiology, and ecological relevance of the Melainabacteria members. In the...
