Abstract
AbstractBacteria of the SAR202 clade, within the phylum Chloroflexota, are ubiquitously distributed in the ocean but have not yet been cultivated in the lab. It has been proposed that ancient expansions of catabolic enzyme paralogs broadened the spectrum of organic compounds that SAR202 bacteria could oxidize, leading to transformations of the Earth’s carbon cycle. Here, we report the successful cultivation of SAR202 bacteria from surface seawater using dilution-to-extinction culturing. The grow

Abstract
Abstract The actinobacterial acI lineage is among the most successful and ubiquitous freshwater bacterioplankton found on all continents, often representing more than half of all microbial cells in the lacustrine environment and constituting multiple ecotypes. However, stably growing pure cultures of the acI lineage have not been established despite various cultivation efforts based on ecological and genomic studies on the lineage, which is in contrast to the ocean from which abun
