Genomic and Transcriptomic Evidence Supports Methane Metabolism in <italic toggle="yes">Archaeoglobi</italic>
ABSTRACT Euryarchaeal lineages have been believed to have a methanogenic last common ancestor. However, members of euryarchaeal Archaeoglobi have long been considered nonmethanogenic and their evolutionary history remains elusive. Here, three high-quality metagenomic-assembled genomes (MAGs) retriev...
