Abstract
While sequencing the genome of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 , we found an 8,313-bp sequence containing a cluster of nine histidine biosynthesis genes in an order different from that of any known his o peron. Results of phylogenetic analysis of the coding regions in the p utative operon give conflicting evolutionary histories for individual his genes.
