Elusimicrobia

The phylum Elusimicrobia, previously known as "Termite Group 1", has been shown to be widespread in different ecosystems like marine environment, sewage sludge, contaminated sites and soils, and toxic wastes. The high abundance of 'Elusimicrobia' representatives is only evidenced for the lineage of symbionts found in termites and ants.[1]

  • Elusimicrobaeota Oren et al. 2015

The first organism to be cultured was Elusimicrobium minutum; however, other two species have been partially described and placed in a separate class, known as Microbiaendophisolisum.[2]

Phylogeny

The phylogeny is based on 16S rRNA-based LTP release 123 by 'The All-Species Living Tree' Project.[3]

gollark: As I said, it must be based on DR fullness - TJ09's are just an exception.
gollark: Can you actually get ethereal celestial hatchlings?
gollark: I bet it's just day-based.
gollark: I have a nonincubated one which will hatch in 1d6h.
gollark: Is it viewbombing or just an accident?
