Marinimicrobiais acandidatephylum of bacteria,previously known as SAR406, MGA or Marine Group A. They have been found mainly at great depths such as theChallenger Deep,theMariana Trench,and thePuerto Rico Trench.This phylum has a low representation in shallow pelagic samples and high abundance in deep samples. Although thesebacteriaare often associated with low dissolvedoxygenenvironments, very little is known about theirecologyand metabolic functions.[1]Marinimicrobia form part of theFCB groupalong with other related bacterial phyla.[2]
