candidate division OP11 bacterium SCGC AAA255-J07. Microgenomates bacterium SCGC AAA255-J07

Microbial Dark Matter project: Applying single-cell genomics, we targeted and sequenced uncultivated archaeal and bacterial cells from nine diverse habitats belonging to 28 major uncharted branches of the tree of life. With this genomic information, we could resolve numerous intra- and inter-phylum level relationships and discovered unexpected metabolic features that extend our understanding of biology and challenge established boundaries between the three domains of life.

微生物暗物质（Microbial Dark Matter）研究项目：借助单细胞基因组学（single-cell genomics）技术，我们针对来自9种不同生境的未培养古菌与细菌细胞开展靶向捕获并测序，这些细胞隶属于生命之树的28个全新主要分支。依托该基因组数据，我们解析了大量门内与门类间的演化关系，同时发现了诸多前所未有的代谢特征——这些发现拓展了我们对生物学的认知，并打破了原有的生命三域之间的固有边界。
