PG - 3-19 LID - B978-0-12-407863-5.00001-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/B978-0-12-407863-5.00001-0 [doi] AB - Over the past decade, technological advances in whole genome amplification, microfluidics, flow sorting, and high-throughput sequencing have led to the development of single-cell genomics. Single-cell genomic approaches are typically applied to anonymous microbial cells with only morphology providing clues to their identity. However, targeted separation of microorganisms based on phylogenetic markers, such as the 16S rRNA gene, is beginning to emerge in the single-cell genomics field. Here, we describe an in-solution fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) protocol which can be combined with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) for separation of single cells or populations of interest from environmental samples. Sequencing of DNA obtained from sorted cells can be used for the recovery of draft quality genomes, and when performed in parallel with deep metagenomics, can be used to validate and further scaffold metagenomic assemblies. We illustrate in this chapter the feasibility of this FISH-FACS approach by describing the targeted recovery of a novel anaerobic methanotrophic archaeon. CI - (c) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
