“…In combination with Diapherotrites, Parvarchaeota, Aenigmarchaeota, Nanohaloarchaeota, and Nanoarchaeota, they form a monophyletic super-phylum proposed as DPANN [ 15 , 16 ]. Currently, Woesearchaeota are widely found in diverse environments, such as groundwater [ 15 ], surface water [ 17 ], inland soil [ 18 ], marine sediments [ 19 , 20 ], freshwater sediments [ 21 ], activated sludge [ 22 ], wetland [ 23 ], hypersaline lakes [ 24 ], estuaries [ 25 ], and deep-sea hydrothermal vents [ 26 ]. Several Woesearchaeotal genomes with different completeness have also been detected from groundwater [ 15 , 27 ], sediment [ 28 , 29 ], and freshwater [ 16 ].…”
