Phylogenetic diversity of major archaeal clades of the TACK superphylum. The tree was constructed from an alignment of full-length sequences from 459 representative operative taxonomic units, along with 91 guide 16S rRNA sequences used in the 16S + 23S rRNA gene phylogeny, except that Nanoarchaeota was excluded. Known major clades are collapsed and shown as wedges and only bootstrap values above 70 are shown. For viewing clarity, major clades are shown as wedges and each shaded in a different color. AAG, Ancient Archaeal Group; MHVG, Marine Hydrothermal Vent Group; DHVC1, Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vent Crenarchaeotic group 1; DSAG/MBG-B, Deep-Sea Archaeal Group/Marine Benthic Group B; UTSCG, Uncultured Thermoacidic Spring Clone Group; UC-I and V, Uncultured Crenarchaeota groups I and V; TMCG, Terrestrial Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotic Group; MCG, Miscellaneous Crenarchaeal Group; YLCG-3.1 + 3.2, Yellowstone Lake Crenarchaeal Groups 3.1 and 3.2; THSCG, Terrestrial Hot Spring Crenarchaeotic Group; HTC1 + 2, Hot Thaumarchaeota-related Clades 1 and 2; pSL12 + MBG-A, pSL12-related group + Marine Benthic Group A; SCG, Soil Crenarchaeotic Group; SAGMCG-1, South African Gold Mine Crenarchaeotic Group-1; MG-I+II, Marine Groups I and II. AK8, AK31, and D-F10 are clone names. Details regarding methods for the construction of the phylogenetic tree are available in the supplemental methods online.
