Figure 1: Characterization of WWE3-OP11-OD1 radiation phylogeny and ecology.
From: Diverse uncultivated ultra-small bacterial cells in groundwater

(a) Phylum level breakdown of the 16S OTUs recovered from 0.1-μm filter DNA Clone Library and EMIRGE reconstructions. CP, candidate phyla. (b) The tree contains the WWE3-OP11-OD1 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Arb-Silva database and our EMIRGE/Clone Library 0.1-μm filter sequences (n=1,523 sequences from the Arb-Silva database plus 49 sequences from the Rifle site). The tree is collapsed into ‘class’-level monophyletic groups; asterisks denote monophyletic groups to which Rifle sequences belong. (c) The coloured tiles represent environments from which sequences in each class were recovered, with colours corresponding to the percentage of each class found in the given environment. Sed., sediment; Contam., contaminated; Hy-therm., hydrothermal; FW, freshwater; GW, groundwater; WW, wastewater; Hypersal., hypersaline; Aq., aquatic.
