Myxobacteria, belonging to the phylum Myxococcota, are ubiquitous in soil, marine, and other environments. A recent metagenomic sequencing ana-lysis showed that Myxococcota predominant activated sludge systems; however, their metabolic traits remain unclear. In present study, we exami-ned potential biological functions of 46 bins reconstructed from samples four municipal sewage treatment plants. The results obtained most had an almost complete set genes associated with glycolysis TCA cycle. Palsa-1104 Polyangiales contained glycoside hydrolase GH5 peptidase M23, which presumably involved lysis cell wall cellular cytoplasm, suggesting some prey on microorganisms. contact-dependent predatory Myxococcus xanthus conserved family Myxococcaceae, but not families. Two phototrophic gene clusters, indicating for heterotrophic autotrophic metabolism by these microbes. assessments social behavior sludge, FruA C-signal gene, regulation fruiting body formation, were lacking bins, inability form bodies. addition, multiple novel secondary metabolite biosynthesis clusters may be used predation bacteria sludge. Our metagenome-based ana-lyses provide insights into microbial interactions ecosystems.
