Bacteria of the deeply branching phylum Verrucomicrobia are rarely cultured yet commonly detected in metagenomic libraries from aquatic, terrestrial, and intestinal environments. We have sequenced the genome of Opitutus terrae PB90-1, a fermentative anaerobe within this phylum, isolated from rice paddy soil and capable of propionate production from plant-derived polysaccharides.
深分枝门疣微菌中的细菌很少被培养,但在水生、陆地和肠道环境的宏基因组文库中经常被检测到。我们已经对 Opitutus terrae PB90-1 的基因组进行了测序,它是该门内的一种发酵性厌氧菌,从稻田土壤中分离出来,能够从植物来源的多糖中生产丙酸。
