Candidatus Wirthbacteria is a proposed bacterial phylum containing only one known sample from the Crystal Geyser aquifer, Ca. Wirthibacter wanneri. This bacterium stands out in a basal position in some tree of lives as it is closely related to Candidate phyla radiation but is not considered part of that clade.[1]
