Newly discovered Asgard archaea Hermodarchaeota potentially degrade alkanes and aromatics via alkyl/benzyl-succinate synthase and benzoyl-CoA pathway

摘要

a Phylogenomic tree of 56 concatenated ribosomal proteins reconstructed using IQtree with the LG + C60 + F + G + PMSF model. Nodes with ultrafast bootstrap values ≥80 are indicated by black circles. The distribution of key genes involved in degradation of hydrocarbons in Asgard archaeal genomes is also presented. Ass/Bss alkyl/benzyl-succinate synthase gene, Ass/Bss AE alkyl/benzyl-succinate synthase activating enzyme gene, bcrABCD benzoyl-CoA reductase ABCD subunit genes. b Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA gene sequences belonging to Hermodarchaeota were inferred using IQtree with GTR + F + I + G4 model. Black circles indicate bootstrap values ≥80.
