Soil \textit{Chloroflexi} have previously been identified in DNA-SIP studies as assimilating $^{13}$C from cellulose and, like our findings, were also found to be underrepresented in culture collections \citep{Schellenberger_2010}. The
\textit{Chloroflexi} identified as cellulose
degraders degrading \textit{Chloroflexi} in this study are also
only distantly related to isolates \ref{tab:cell}. Chloroflexi are among the
six most abundant soil phyla commonly recovered from soil microbial diversity
surveys \citep{Janssen2006}. Chloroflexi are typically not as as abundant as
\textit{Verrucomicrobia} but are roughly as abundant as \textit{Bacteroidetes}
and \textit{Planctomycetes}
types \citep{Janssen2006}. Four of five
$^{13}$C-cellulose responsive \textit{Chloroflexi} identified in this study are
annotated as belonging to the \textit{Herpetosiphon} although the
\textit{Herpetosiphon} SSU rRNA gene sequences from this study from

previously implicated in cellulose degradation. Planctomycetes is the
least studied of the three phyla and only one Planctomycetes isolate can
grow on cellulose. None of the seven \textit{Planctomycetes} cellulose degraders
identified in this experiment are closely related to
isolates. Soil
\textit{Planctomycetes} may be significant contributors isolates, and furthermore, the importance of their contributions to
bacterial cellulose
degradation. degradation in soil is unknown. \textit{Acidobacteria} did not appear to incorporate $^{13}$C from
cellulose into DNA in our microcosms though \textit{Acidobacteria} have been
found to degrade cellulose in culture CITE and are a numerically significant
soil phylum CITE.
\textit{Acidobacteria} have been shown to dominate at low nutrient availability (CITE: cederlund 2014), which may explain why they do not thrive under the nutrient replete experimental conditions in this study. The \textit{Acidobacteria} in our microcosms were mainly
annotated as belonging to the "XX" group.
NEED TO DEVELOP THIS FURTHER --
N-limitation and Acido response probably important.
