Preprint #1 out of #2 out today: Huge and variable diversity of episymbiotic CPR bacteria and DPANN archaea in groundwater ecosystems from @c_y_he @DrRayKeren @Farag_IF @jhdcate biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our first preprint and my first paper with a focus on evolution and I want to thank @anjspa1 for all I have learned since coming to @NIOZnieuws. For anyone interested: Our work describes the evolution+metabolism of DPANN with a focus on UAP2/Undinarchaeota biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Glad to see more recent interest on the question "Are bacterial species discrete units in nature?". A pre-print article came out a few days ago entirely in the "NO" camp (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…), but after reading I still think the answer is "YES". Here's why. (1/4)
