Korarchaeota
Korarchaeota is a phylum within the domain Archaea. It comprises lineages that have been detected mainly through environmental DNA and genome-resolved metagenomics rather than from cultivated organisms. Phylogenetically, Korarchaeota are considered among the deepest-branching lineages within Archaea, and their precise placement relative to other archaeal phyla remains debated.
Habitat and discovery: Members have been recovered from a range of high-temperature environments, including hot springs
Physiology and metabolism: Because cultured representatives are scarce, physiology is inferred from genomes and from comparative
Genomics and significance: Genome-resolved studies indicate variable genome sizes and a set of core genes that
