Candidatus Thorarchaeota
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
Thorarchaeota has been shown to help with the degradation or organic matter, as well as playing a part in reducing sulfur and fixation of carbon. Thorarchaeota have been shown to have metabolic pathways withe the ability to uptake and degrade carbohydrates and proteins.
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.
