Asgard archaea capable of anaerobic hydrocarbon cycling

Asgard archaea capable of anaerobic hydrocarbon cycling

Natural gas reservoirs in the oceanic subsurface sustain complex communities of anaerobic microbes. Here, Seitz et al. describe a previously unknown archaeal phylum, Helarchaeota, belonging to the Asgard superphylum and with the potential for oxidation of hydrothermally generated short-chain hydroca...
