Genomic and experimental evidence suggests that Verrucomicrobium spinosum interacts with eukaryotes
Our knowledge of pathogens and symbionts is heavily biased towards phyla containing species that are straightforward to isolate in pure culture. Novel bacterial phyla are often represented by a handful of strains, and the number of species interacting with eukaryotes is likely underestimated. Identi...
