| Abstract: | OP phyla were created in the domain bacteria, based on the group of 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from the Obsidian Pool.
However, due to the lack of cultured representative it is referred to as candidate phyla. Wider ecological occurrence was
predicted for the OP phyla, especially OP3, OP10 and OP11. Recently, members of phylum OP5 and OP10 were cultured, providing
clues to their cultivation prospects. At last the bioprospecting potentials of the OP members are discussed herein. |
