Members of this phylum form a stable lineage that is separate from the Verrucomicrobia and Lentisphaerae phyla. The group of phylotypes representing this phylum and the encountered phylogenetic depth corresponds to the Verrucomicrobia subdivision 5 as originally defined by Hugenholtz et al. (1998).
