“…Critical improvements in cultivation and in situ identification were necessary to resolve a complete korarchaeal genome. The ultrathin filamentous organisms hybridizing to Korarchaeota-specific probes displayed a thinner and generally longer morphology than described for pJP27-type korarchaeote (38). It is not known whether the morphological discrepancies are because of differences in the enrichment conditions, hence growth rate, or whether variation in cell shape occurs among closely related species.…”

“…Among the deep-branching lineages, in particular, Korarchaeota is considered a kingdom that might have diverged very early in the evolution of Archaea (Elkins et al, 2008), even before the Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota split (Barns et al, 1994(Barns et al, , 1996. Until recently, the analyses of Korarchaeota were restricted to 16S rRNA-based molecular approaches and a few enrichment cultures (Barns et al, 1994(Barns et al, , 1996Burggraf et al, 1997;Stetter, 2006), as no organisms so far have been obtained in pure laboratory culture. However, most recently Elkins et al (2008) presented the first korarchaeal genome of Candidatus Korarchaeum cryptofilum, being physically isolated from an enrichment culture inoculated with sediments from Obsidian Pool, Yellowstone.…”

“…Since the discovery of Korarchaeota more than a decade ago (Barns et al, 1996;Burggraf et al, 1997) several environmental 16S rRNA gene surveys have been conducted, identifying Korarchaeota in terrestrial hot springs (Barns et al, 1994(Barns et al, , 1996Takai and Sako, 1999;Reysenbach et al, 2000;Skirnisdottir et al, 2000;Hjorleifsdottir et al, 2001;Spear et al, 2005;Auchtung et al, 2006;Elkins et al, 2008), in shallow marine hydrothermal vents (Marteinsson et al, 2001a, b), in hydrothermal wells (Rogers and Amend, 2005), in deep-sea hydrothermal vent fluids (Takai and Sako, 1999;Nercessian et al, 2003), sediments (Teske et al, 2002), chimneys (Takai et al, 2004;Auchtung et al, 2006) and on the sea floor of abyssal hills (Ehrhardt et al, 2007a). Korarchaeota 16S rDNA signatures are found in thermal habitats of 55-128 1C and mostly at (sub-) neutral pH.…”

“…This information can be used to gain insight into the intracellular organization of the chromosome DNA, the morphological features of the nucleoid partition process, and the temporal stage in the cell cycle at which different nucleoid processing events take place. Such studies have not been performed with archaea, although reports exist in which in situ DNA staining has been used for other purposes (8,16,18,20). Although nucleoid conformation may also be studied by electron microscopy, the significance is difficult to estimate since the structure of the nucleoids may alter during sample preparation (5,26).…”
