Photosynthesis is not a universal feature of the phylum Cyanobacteria

2014-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Molecular surveys of aphotic habitats have indicated the presence of major uncultured lineages phylogenetically classified as members of the Cyanobacteria. One of these lineages has recently been proposed as a non-photosynthetic sister phylum to the Cyanobacteria, the Melainabacteria, based on recovery of standard draft population genomes from human gut and groundwater samples. Here, we expand the phylogenomic rep...
