Pangenomics of Candidatus Bipolaricaulota in hydrothermal aquifers of Biga Peninsula, Turkey

We surveyed the microbial diversity of eleven different deep geothermal aquifers and springs across the tectonically active Biga Peninsula (Turkey), a hydrothermal setting that is historically undersampled for environmental microbial community assessments. Across geothermal settings ranging in temperature from 35-80 oC, one the most highly represented groups was affiliated with the uncultivated group ‘<em>Candidatus</em> Bipolaricaulota’.

我们针对构造活跃的土耳其比加半岛（Biga Peninsula）上的11处不同深层地热含水层与泉点开展了微生物多样性调查；该热液环境此前在环境微生物群落评估领域的采样覆盖度极低。在温度区间为35~80℃的各类地热环境中，丰度最高的类群之一隶属于未培养类群‘<em>候选双杆菌门（Candidatus Bipolaricaulota）</em>’。
