Question
Chapter 19, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The genetic phylogeny and key traits of certain archaeal groups.
Introduction:
Archaea are majorly classified into three domains, Crenarchaeota, Thaumarchaeota, and Euryarchaeota. On exploring the genome sequence of ancient Archaeal group and benthic surface community, many phyla can be grouped. The phylum Euryarchaeota includes Haloarchaea, Methanogens, Thermococcales and Thermoplasmatales.
