Abstract
AbstractCandidatus Patescibacteria, also known as candidate phyla radiation (CPR), including the class‐level uncultured clade JAEDAM01 (formerly a subclass of Gracilibacteria/GN02/BD1‐5), are ubiquitous in activated sludge. However, their characteristics and relationships with other organisms are largely unknown. They are believed to be episymbiotic, endosymbiotic or predatory. Despite our understanding of their limited metabolic capacity, their precise roles remain elusive due to the difficulty

Diversity of Nitrite Reductase Genes in “ Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis”-Dominated Cultures Enriched by Flow-Cytometric Sorting

Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis” is considered a polyphosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) though it has not been isolated yet. To reveal the denitrification ability of this organism, we first concentrated this organism by flow cytometric sorting following fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific probes for this organism. The purity of the target cells was about 97% of total cell count in the sorted sample. The PCR am
