Popis: The Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR) constitutes a large group of bacterial lineages with small cell sizes and limited biosynthetic capabilities. Here, Moreira et al. study the biology and genome of Vampirococcus lugosii, an epibiotic parasite of other bacteria, supporting parasitism as a common lifestyle of CPR bacteria.
