Archaea . [See the NCBI [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=51967 webpage on Korarchaeota] . Data extracted from the cite web | url=ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ | title=NCBI taxonomy resources | publisher=National Center for Biotechnology Information | accessdate=2007-03-19]The Korarchaeota are a group of
Archaea known only from 16SrRNA gene sequences obtained from samples of high temperature hydrothermal environments. Analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences suggests that they are not a member of the main archaeal groups,Crenarchaeota andEuryarchaeota . However, it is possible that Korarchaeota do not actually form a separate group, but are simply organisms where the 16S rRNA genes have undergone rapid or unusual mutations. The metabolic processes of Korarchaeota, including how they generate energy and obtain carbon, are currently unknown. The genome of one korarchaeote that was enriched from a mixed culture has recently been sequenced.
