'''Acidobacteriota''' is a [[phylum]] of [[Gram-negative]] [[bacteria]]. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.<ref name="Barns2007">{{cite journal |author=Barns SM |author2= Cain EC |author3=Sommerville L |author4=Kuske CR |title=''Acidobacteria'' phylum sequences in uranium-contaminated subsurface sediments greatly expand the known diversity within the phylum |journal=Appl.
