Cenarchaeum symbiosum is a species of Archaea in the genus Cenarchaeum, and is one of the three species contained by the newly proposed phylum Thaumarchaeota in the domain Archaea. C. symbiosum is psychrophilic and is found inhabiting marine sponges.[1]
Genome
The genome of C. symbiosum is estimated to be 2.02 Million bp in length, with a predicted amount of 2011 genes.[2]
Ecology
Cenarchaeum Symbiosum is a psychrophillic organism (capable of surviving and proliferating at low temperatures usually ranging from 7-19 Celsius. C. Symbiosum has a symbiotic relationship with certain varieties of sponge species, usually living in 10-20 meter depths, typically near California.
