Here we provide a brief review of the rare biosphere from the perspective of ciliates and other microbial eukaryotes. We trace research on rarity from its lack of much in-depth focus in morphological and Sanger sequencing projects, to its central importance in analyses using high throughput sequencing strategies. The problem that the rare biosphere is potentially comprised of mostly errors is then discussed in the light of asking community-comparative, novel-diversity, and ecosystem-functioning questions.
在此，我们从纤毛虫和其他微生物真核生物的角度对稀有生物圈进行简要综述。我们追溯了对稀有性的研究，从其在形态学和桑格测序项目中缺乏深入关注，到其在使用高通量测序策略的分析中的核心重要性。然后，鉴于提出群落比较、新多样性和生态系统功能问题，讨论了稀有生物圈可能主要由误差构成这一问题。
