Bacterial Domain and Exchange Genes with Rhizobiales: Evidence from Population Genomics …

Acidobacteria have been established as a novel phylum of Bacteria that is consistently
detected in many different habitats around the globe by 16S rDNA‐based molecular
surveys. The phylogenetic diversity, ubiquity and abundance of this group, particularly in soil
habitats, suggest an important ecological role and extensive metabolic versatility. However,
the genetic and physiological information about Acidobacteria is scarce. In order to gain
insight into genome structure, evolution and diversity of these microorganisms we have …
