reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea

Although these archaea can be present in extremely high numbers (up to 40% of the microbial biomass), almost none of these species have been isolated and studied in pure culture.

Most likely because someone failed to look for it before or those that saw it assumed it was contamination.
