Species InformationThe Cenarchaeum symbiosum genome is 2.02 Million bp long and contains approximately 2011 predicted genes.
Taxonomy: Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Cenarchaeales; Cenarchaeaceae; Cenarchaeum.
Sequencing: The sequence was released 03/01/06 by the MIT Sequencing Center, and was described in PLoS Biol 4:e95 (2006) Hallam SJ, Mincer TJ, Schleper C, Preston CM, Roberts K, et al.."Pathways of carbon assimilation and ammonia oxidation suggested by environmental genomic analyses of marine Crenarchaeota." Abstract: Marine Crenarchaeota represent an abundant component of oceanic microbiota with potential to significantly influence biogeochemical cycling in marine ecosystems. Prior studies using specific archaeal lipid biomarkers and isotopic analyses indicated that planktonic Crenarchaeota have the capacity for autotrophic growth, and more recent cultivation studies support an ammonia-based chemolithoautotrophic energy metabolism. We report here analysis of fosmid sequences derived from the...

Abstract: Archaea, one of the three major domains of extant life, was thought to comprise predominantly microorganisms that inhabit extreme environments, inhospitable to most Eucarya and Bacteria. However, molecular phylogenetic surveys of native microbial assemblages are beginning to indicate that the evolutionary and physiological diversity of Archaea is far greater than previously supposed. We report here the discovery and preliminary characterization of a marine archaeon that inhabits the...

CreditsThe Archaeal Genome Browsers at UCSC were developed by members of theLowe Lab (Kevin Schneider,Katherine Pollard, Andy Pohl, Todd Lowe) and Robert Baertsch, with significant support fromthe UCSC Human GenomeBrowser group.The Archaeal Browsers are run by a slightly modifiedversion of the UCSC Human GenomeBrowser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements,and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).If you use the browser in your published research, please cite ourpublication in the Nucleic Acids Research DatabaseIssue. Citations and positive feedback will help us obtain fundingto continue development of this community resource.
