Verrucomicrobiota is a phylum of

ectosymbionts of protists and endosymbionts of nematodes from genus Xiphinema, residing in their gametes.[2][3]


Verrucomicrobiota are abundant within the environment, though relatively inactive.

Planctomycetales
.

Verrucomicrobiota might belong in the

Planctobacteria in the larger clade Gracilicutes.[9]

In 2008, the whole genome of Methylacidiphilum infernorum (2.3 Mbp) was published. On the single circular chromosome, 2473 predicted proteins were found, 731 of which had no detectable homologs. These analyses also revealed many possible homologies with Pseudomonadota.[10][11]
