Omnitrophica orOmnitrophota is a proposedcandidatephylum ofbacteria[2] withchemolithoautotrophic nutrition. It was previously known as candidate phylumOP3. These bacteria appear to thrive inanoxic environments, such as deep marine sediments, hypersaline environments, freshwater lakes, aquifers, flooded soils, and methanogenic bioreactors.[3] Genomic analyzes have found genes responsible for the construction ofmagnetosomes, which are also present in other phyla of bacteria. These organelles have magnetic properties, which causes bacteria to orient themselves magnetically in the environment.[4] Omnitrophica is part of thePVC superphylum along with the phylaPlanctomycetota,Verrucomicrobiota andChlamydiota with which it shares a common ancestor.[5]
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on theList of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[1] andNational Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[6]
