It has been ubiquitously detected in the world oceans at lower abundances, while in some genera of marine sponges it is one of the most abundant microbiome members. Its genome sequence and diversity has been investigated in detail finding unique metabolic products and its role in ammonia-oxidizing activities.
==Genome== The genome of C. symbiosum is estimated to be 2.02 Million bp in length, with a predicted amount of 2011 genes.
