Candidatus Bathyarchaeota archaeon strain:BE326-BA-RLH Genome sequencing and assembly
Metagenomic sequencing of fracture fluid from the BE326-BH2 borehole (1.34 km below land surface) in the Beatrix Gold Mine, South Africa recovered a nearly complete Bathyarchaeota archaeon genome. Candidatus Bathyarchaeota archaeon BE326-BA-RLH encodes genes involved in methane metabolism, dissimilatory nitrate reduction, and sulfur reduction. PIs Rachel L. Harris and Tullis Onstott.
