Popis: Recent genomic studies indicate that the diversity of the so-called Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) comprises approximately 26 percent of the entire catalogued biodiversity. These bacteria are characterized by small cell-size and a reduced metabolism. In this review, we provide a short overview of their diversity and ecological distribution, particularly with respect to the human microbiome. We finally summarize cultivation attempts and known symbioses and provide insights into their known metabolism.
