Candidate division TM7
Saccharibacteria, formerly known as TM7,[1]
is a major bacterial lineage. It was discovered through 16S rRNA sequencing . [2]
TM7x from the human oral cavity was cultivated and revealed that TM7x is an extremely small coccus (200-300 nm) and has a distinctive lifestyle not previously observed in human-associated microbes.[3] It is an obligate epibiont of various hosts, including Actinomyces odontolyticus strain (XH001) yet also has a parasitic phase thereby killing its host. The full genome sequence revealed a highly reduced genome (705kB) [4] and a complete lack of amino acid biosynthetic capacity. An axenic culture of TM7 from the oral cavity was reported in 2014 but no sequence or culture was made available.[5]
Along with Candidate Phylum TM6,[6] it was named after sequences obtained in 1994 in an environmental study of a soil sample of peat bog in Germany where 262 PCR amplified 16S rDNA fragments were cloned into a plasmid vector, named TM clones for Torf, Mittlere Schicht (lit. peat, middle layer).[7]
It has been found in several environments since such as from activated sludges,[8][9] water treatment plant sludge[10] rainforest soil,[11] human saliva,[12][13] in association with sponges,[14] cockroaches,[15] gold mines,[16] acetate-amended aquifer sediment,[17] and other environments (bar thermophilic), making it an abundant and widespread phylum. Recently, TM7 rDNA and whole-cells were detected in activated sludge with >99.7% identity to a human skin TM7 and 98.6% identity to the human oral TM7a,[18] suggesting metabolically active TM7 isolates in environmental sites may serve as model organisms to investigate the role TM7 species play in human health.
