Successful Isolation and Sequencing of a New Bacterial Strain from Candidatus phylum Dependentiae

Caption

Certain types of bacteria are unable to survive and thrive outside host organisms. This makes their isolation and identification technically challenging. Recently, a researcher from Tokyo University of Science successfully isolated a new bacterial strain of the candidate bacterial group, Candidatus phylum Dependentiae, from a pond in the Noda campus of the university. This study marks the first time such a novel strain has been isolated from a Japanese environment.
