TheGemmatimonadotaare aphylumofbacteriaestablished in 2003. Thephylumcontains two classesGemmatimonadetesandLongimicrobia.

Species[edit]

The type speciesGemmatimonas aurantiacastrain T-27Twas isolated from activated sludge in a sewage treatment system in 2003.[1]It is a Gram-negative bacterium able to grow by both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.[2]

The second cultured species wasGemmatirosa kalamazoonensisgen. nov., sp. nov. strain KBS708, which was isolated from organically managed agricultural soil in Michigan USA.[3]

The third cultured speciesGemmatimonas phototrophicastrain AP64Twas isolated from a shallow freshwater desert lake Tiān é hú (Swan Lake) in North China.[4]A unique feature of this organism is the presence of bacterial photosynthetic reaction centers. It probably acquired genes for anoxygenic photosynthesis viahorizontal gene transfer.G. phototrophicais a facultative photoheterotrophic organism. It requires the supply of organic substrate for growth, but it may obtain additional energy for its metabolism from light.[5]

Longimicrobium terraestrain CB-286315T was isolated from a soil sample from a typical Mediterranean forest ecosystem located in Granada, Spain. Due to this large phylogenetic distance from other cultured Gemmatimonades, it established a novel class named Longimicrobia.[6]

Environmental distribution[edit]

Data from culture-independent studies indicate that Gemmatimonadota are widely distributed in many natural habitats. They make up about 2% of soil bacterial communities and has been identified as one of the top nine phyla found in soils; yet, there are currently only six cultured isolates.[7]Gemmatimonadota have been found in a variety of arid soils, such as grassland, prairie, and pasture soil, as well as eutrophic lake sediments and alpine soils. This wide range of environments where Gemmatimonadota have been found suggests an adaptation to low soil moisture.[8]A study conducted showed that the distribution of the Gemmatimonadota in soil tends to be more dependent on the moisture availability than aggregation, reinforcing the belief that the members of this phylum prefer dryer soils.[9]Smaller numbers were also found in various aquatic environments, such as fresh waters and sediments.
