Structural color is an optical phenomenon resulting from light interacting with nanostructured materials. Although structural (SC) widespread in the tree of life, underlying genetics and genomics are not well understood. Here, we collected sequenced a set 87 structurally colored bacterial isolates 30 related strains lacking SC. Optical analysis colonies indicated that diverse bacteria at least two different phyla (
