This article will address the topic of Armatimonadota, which has gained relevance in recent years due to its impact in different areas. Armatimonadota has captured the attention of researchers, experts and the general public for its influence in the social, economic, political, cultural spheres, among others. Its importance lies in its ability to generate significant changes and its implications in today's society. In this sense, the various facets of Armatimonadota will be analyzed in detail, in order to understand its scope and significance in the current context.
Armatimonadota was originally described solely on the basis of environmental 16S rRNA gene clone sequences, and was temporarily titled candidate phylum OP10. However, in 2011 a bacterial strain belonging to the phylum was isolated from an aquatic plant in Japan. The species was named Armatimonas rosea and was the first member of its phylum, genus, and species.
