Figure 5: Co-occurrence patterns and metabolic complementarity with ‘Ca. Kryptonia.’
From: Global metagenomic survey reveals a new bacterial candidate phylum in geothermal springs
(a) Spearman-rank correlation values were calculated based on reconstructed SSU rRNA sequences across 22 geothermal spring metagenomes, and led to the identification of a cluster of highly correlated phylotypes with ‘Ca. Kryptonia.’ Armatimonadetes (cluster 3107) had the highest correlation value (ρ=0.82) with ‘Ca. Kryptonia.’ (b) Biosynthetic pathways present in the Armatimonadetes genome which complement missing components in ‘Ca. Kryptonia.’ Full gene information for the Armatimonadetes genome is available in Supplementary Data 7. Each arrow represents an enzymatic component of the biosynthetic pathways; arrows highlighted in blue are contributed by the Armatimonadetes, while arrows highlighted in dark orange are contributed by ‘Ca. Kryptonia.’ Black arrows indicate enzyme was not recovered in either.
