Summary Introduction
Nanoarchaeum equitans is known as one of the smallest known organism with the smallest genome of 0.49 Mb among Archaea. N.equitans, a prokaryote is a strict obligatory symbiont of Crenarchaeota, with its host Ignicoccus. In terms of evolution, N.equitans clearly belongs to archaea according to the cellwall which consists of an S-layer and also the 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed the same sequence in many members of the archaea at several locations.
