Beyond genomics in Patescibacteria: A trove of unexplored biology packed into ultrasmall bacteria

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 121, Issue 51, December 2024.
SignificancePatescibacteria, also known as the Candidate Phyla Radiation, are an understudied but fascinating group of diverse and largely uncultivated bacteria. These ultrasmall microbes have reduced genomes lacking many typically essential pathways and …
