Elusimicrobia

The phylum Elusimicrobia previously known as 'Termite Group 1' has been shown to be widespread in different ecosystems like marine environment, sewage sludge, contaminated sites and soils. The high abundance of 'Elusimicrobia' representatives is only evidenced for the lineage of symbionts found in termites.

The first organism to be cultured was Elusimicrobium minutum, however other two species has being partially described and placed in a separate class, known as Endomicrobia.
