Taxonomy

Description

The highest relative abundances of this phylum were observed in sponge metagenomes from the marine sponge Aplysina aerophoba from the Gulf of Piran, Slovenia, and Ssperm DNA of Galaxea fascicularis from an undisclosed coral reef sample. The phylum has a global distribution and was mainly present in public shotgun metagenome datasets labelled as marine metagenomes, marine sediment metagenomes, seawater metagenome, and sponge metagenome.
