In 1998, a cultivation-independent survey of the microbial community in Obsidian Pool, Yellowstone National Park, detected 12 new phyla within the Domain Bacteria. These were dubbed 'candidate divisions' OP1 to OP12. Since that time the OP10 candidate division has been commonly detected in various environments, usually as part of the rare biosphere, but occasionally as a predominant community component. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, OP10 comprises at least 12 class-level subdivisions. However, despite this broad ecological and evolutionary diversity, all OP10 bacteria have eluded cultivation until recently. In 2011, two reference species of OP10 were taxonomically validated, removing the phylum from its 'candidate' status. Construction of a highly resolved phylogeny based on 29 universally conserved genes verifies its standing as a unique bacterial phylum. In the following paper we summarize what is known and what is suspected about the newest described bacterial phylum, the Armatimonadetes.
1998 年，对黄石国家公园黑曜石池微生物群落的一项非培养依赖性调查，在域细菌中检测到了 12 个新的门。这些被称为“候选门”OP1 到 OP12。自那时以来，候选门 OP10 通常在各种环境中被普遍检测到，通常作为稀有生物圈的一部分，但偶尔也作为主要的群落组成部分。根据 16S rRNA 基因系统发育，OP10 至少包含 12 个纲级细分。然而，尽管具有广泛的生态和进化多样性，但直到最近，所有 OP10 细菌都未能被培养。2011 年，两种 OP10 的参考种被分类学验证，将该门从其“候选”状态中移除。基于 29 个普遍保守基因构建的高度解析系统发育验证了其作为一个独特细菌门的地位。在下面的论文中，我们总结了关于最新描述的细菌门——Armatimonadetes 的已知和疑似情况。
