Microbial genomes produced by single-cell amplification are largely incomplete. Here, we show that primary template amplification (PTA), a novel single-cell amplification technique, generated nearly complete genomes from three bacterial isolate species. Furthermore, taxonomically diverse genomes recovered from aquatic and soil microbiomes using PTA had a median completeness of 81%, whereas genomes from standard amplification approaches were usually <30% complete. PTA-derived genomes also included more associated viruses and biosynthetic gene clusters.
通过单细胞扩增产生的微生物基因组大多是不完整的。在此,我们表明,一种新型的单细胞扩增技术——初级模板扩增(PTA),能够从三种细菌分离物种中生成近乎完整的基因组。此外,使用PTA从水生和土壤微生物群落中获得的分类学上多样化的基因组,其完整性中位数为81%,而采用标准扩增方法获得的基因组通常完整性低于30%。源自PTA的基因组还包含更多相关病毒和生物合成基因簇。
