Chapter 19.2, Problem 5TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The hypothesis that explains the reason for the time and depth distribution of marine Crenarchaeota.
Introduction:
The evolution of mesophiles may have occurred from hyperthermophiles by the process of gene acquisition from mesophilic bacteria. The majority of Crenarchaeota grow in water, soil or in association with plants. In a survey conducted in 2001, a high number of Crenarchaeotes were found in the ocean. The availability varied seasonally and with depth.
