Hikarchaeia demonstrate an intermediate stage in the methanogen-to-halophile transition
A study of the first genomes of the marine Hikarchaeia, the closest known relatives of Haloarchaea, is presented. Their inclusion in ancestral reconstructions unveils an intermediate stage in the evolutionary transition from ancestral anaerobic methanogens to modern day aerobic halophiles.
