Zixibacteria
Zixibacteria is a bacterial phylum with candidate status, meaning it had no cultured representatives.. It is a member of the FCB group
Zixibacteria was proposed as a bacterial phylum following the recovery of a genome from representative RBG-1.. This genome was recovered using genome-resolved metagenomics from sediment samples of an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River, including subsurface sediments, estuary water, moonmilk cave deposits, and deep subsurface fracture fluids from a gold mine
