Thousands of microbial genomes shed light on interconnected biogeochemical processes in an aquifer system

Microorganisms from the terrestrial subsurface are understudied. Here, Anantharamanet al. analyse aquifer sediments and groundwater by genome-resolved metagenomics and reconstruct 2,540 genomes representing the majority of known bacterial phyla as well as 47 new phylum-level lineages.
