This project investigates the ecology and biology of the TM6 bacterial phylum, often referred to as microbial dark matter. By cultivating these bacteria with their natural hosts, the research aims to uncover their symbiotic relationships and ecological roles.
The kingdom Bacteria represents the most widespread and diverse life form on Earth.
On the 89 recognized bacteria phyla, 60 lack a cultivable representative, being thus considered as candidate phyla, or “microbial dark matter” (MDM).
Accumulating evidence suggests that a substantial fraction of these elusive microbes is associated with (eukaryotic) hosts.
The candidate phylum TM6 represents a major MDM phylum; its members are globally widespread and frequently detected in natural and man-made en…
