Novel, deep-branching heterotrophic bacterial populations recovered from thermal spring metagenomes

Thermal spring ecosystems are a valuable resource for the discovery of novel hyperthermophilic Bacteria and Archaea, and harbor deeply-branching lineages that provide insight regarding the nature of early microbial life. We characterized bacterial populations in two circumneutral (pH ~ 8) Yellowston...
