The diversity and function of microbes inhabiting hydrothermal areas is a topic of active interest in marine microbiology. Here, the authors assemble genomes from Guaymas Basin hydrothermal sediments and describe the metabolic roles of the bacterial community, which includes five new bacterial candidate phyla
