A laboratory simulation revealed the succession patterns of oil degradation and microbial community changes during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, one of the largest environmental catastrophes in human history. Hu et al. successfully recovered genomes of several oil-degrading bacteria, including one of “Candidatus Bermanella macondoprimitus,” with high identity to the dominant Oceanospirillales 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from the deep-ocean hydrocarbon plumes. Delmont and Eren (3) reanalyzed metagenomic data generated from these plumes to argue that this Bermanella was not present.
