A Saccharimonadia epibiont interacts with the polyphosphate-accumulating bacterium Candidatus Phosphoribacter in wastewater treatment plants
Many Patescibacteria lineages are abundant in wastewater treatment plants, yet their interaction partners and ecological roles remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a specific association between a novel Saccharimonadia genus, Candidatus Lutisaccharimonas, and the widespread polyphosphate-accumulating organism (PAO) Candidatus Phosphoribacter. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed…
