Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, candidate phyla (TM7, OD1, SR1, and BD1-5), which were frequently detected using next generation sequencing for activated sludge samples. The phylogenetic tree at the phylum level could be constructed and FISH probes were newly designed and optimized. MAR-FISH analysis revealed the organic compound that TM7 bacteria can be utilized for their growth.
