Description and Significance
Thorarchaeota Thorarchaeota were discovered in North Carolina. Their habitat is in bodies of water where marine water and fresh water merge. These bodies of water are filled with nutrients.
Genome Structure
Thorarchaeota genome is about 3.5-4.5 Mb. Thorarchaeota is linear. Thorarchaeota are closely related to Eukaryotes. Around 3,029 proteins have been sequences thus far from the genome.
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
