Diversity, metabolic potential and global distribution of the anaerobic fermentative bacteria Phylum Candidatus Cloacimonadota.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The phylum Candidatus Cloacimonadota (formerly known as Cloacimonetes, WWE 1) is a group of strictly anaerobic organisms that frequently associated with engineering and wastewater systems. At present, it cannot be cultured using traditional cultivation methods, and the taxonomic position within this phylum remains unclear, with only one class, Candidatus Cloacimonadia. Furthermore, the diversity and metabolic characteristics of Candidatus Cloacimonadota members in marine environments have yet to be explored. Therefore, the taxonomy and metabolism of the phylum Candidatus Cloacimonadota require further investigation.

Results

In this study, six high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of Candidatus Cloacimonadota were acquired from the anoxic zone of the Yon
