Abstract

The recently proposed bacterial phylum Kiritimatiellaeota represents a globally distributed monophyletic clade distinct from other members of the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum. Here, we present four phylogenetically distinct single-cell genome sequences from within the Kiritimatiellaeota lineage sampled from deep continental subsurface aquifer fluids of the Death Valley Regional Flow System in the United States.

Highlights

  • The recently proposed bacterial phylum Kiritimatiellaeota represents a globally distributed monophyletic clade distinct from other members of the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum

  • Sequencing libraries were created for each single cell with the Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) with the following modifications: purification was performed with column cleanup kits (Qiagen, Venlo, the Netherlands), and library selection was performed with BluePippin (Sage Science, Beverly, MA, USA) with a target sequence size of 500 Ϯ 50 bp

  • Raw sequencing reads for each single amplified genome (SAG) were quality trimmed with Trimmomatic v0.32 [8], reads with 95% or greater nucleotide identity with the Homo sapiens reference genome assembly (GRCh38) were removed, and low-complexity reads were removed as described previously [7]

Summary

Introduction

The recently proposed bacterial phylum Kiritimatiellaeota represents a globally distributed monophyletic clade distinct from other members of the Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, and Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum. Raw water samples (1 ml) for single-cell genomics were amended with 5% glycerol and 1ϫ Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer (final concentrations), frozen on dry ice in the field, and stored at Ϫ80°C until cell sorting. Their genomes were amplified and sequenced at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences Single Cell Genomics Center as previously described [7].
