Abstract
AbstractCandidate phyla radiations (CPR), accounting for a major microbial supergroup with remarkably small genomes and reduced sizes, are widely distributed yet mostly uncultured. Limited culture and its obligate reliance upon other bacteria hindered investigation of their lifestyles. In this work we isolated a CPR bacterium, TM7i, with its host Leucobacter aridocollis J1, by combination of Emulsion, Paired Isolation and Concatenation PCR (epicPCR) detection and filtrate co-culture. Genomic pro
