Abstract
In 1992, two independent reports based on small-subunit rRNA gene (SSU rDNA) cloning revealed the presence of novel Archaea among marine bac terioplankton. Here, we report the presence of further novel Archaea S SU rDNA sequences recovered from the midgut contents of a deep-sea mar ine holothurian. Phylogenetic analyses show that these abyssal Archaea are a paraphyletic component of a highly divergent clade that also in cludes some planktonic sequences. Our data confirm that this clade is a deep-branching lineage in the tree of life.
