Insights into ecological roles of uncultivated bacteria in Katase hot spring sediment from long-read metagenomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Diverse yet-uncultivated bacteria and archaea, i.e., microbial dark matter, are present in terrestrial hot spring environments. Numerous metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of these uncultivated prokaryotes by short-read metagenomics have been reported ...

Bacteria can maintain rRNA operons solely on plasmids for hundreds of millions of years

Nature Communications, 2023
It is generally assumed that all bacteria must have at least one rRNA operon (rrn operon) on the chromosome, but some strains of the genera Aureimonas and Oecophyllibacter carry their sole rrn operon on a plasmid.
