We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks
between subspecies and class, proposed between the mid-1990s, when the provisional …

Green bacteria include chlorophototrophic members of the phyla Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, and
Acidobacteria and are defined by their use of chlorosomes for light-harvesting. Despite their …

Hydrothermal systems, including terrestrial hot springs, contain diverse geochemical
conditions that vary over short spatial scales due to progressive interactions between …

A spiral-shaped, highly motile bacterium was isolated from freshwater sulfidic sediment.
Strain J10 T is a facultative autotroph utilizing sulfide, thiosulfate, and sulfur as the electron …

Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are used by bacteria, archaea, and viruses as a
targeted mutagenesis tool. Through error-prone reverse transcription, DGRs introduce …

Under the same selection pressures, two genetically divergent populations may evolve in
parallel toward the same adaptive solutions. Here, we hypothesized that magnetotaxis (ie …

A search for the organisms responsible for anaerobic betaine degradation in soda lakes
resulted in isolation of a novel bacterial strain, designated Z-7014 T. The cells were Gram …

Abstract 'Candidatus Chloroploca asiatica'B7–9 and 'Candidatus Viridilinea
mediisalina'Kir15-3F are mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria from …

Cladophora represents a microscopic forest that provides many ecological niches and
fosters a diverse microbiota. However, the microbial community on Cladophora in brackish …

Magnetosome synthesis in magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) is regarded as a very ancient
evolutionary process that dates back to deep-branching phyla. Magnetotactic bacteria …
