Evidence for lateral gene transfer between Archaea and bacteria from genome sequence of Themotoga maritima

Article Abstract:

Thermotoga maritima, is a non-spore-forming bacterium and is one of the deepest and mostly slowly evolving lineages in the Eubacteria. The 1,860,725-base-pair genome of T. maritima MSB8 has 1,877 predicted coding regions. Several pathways are involved in degradation of sugars and plant polysaccharides, and T. maritima has the highest number of genes most similar to archaeal genes. Lateral gene transfer is believed to have occurred between thermophilic Eubacteria and Archaea.

The complete genome sequence of the hypertermophilic, sulphate-reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus

Article Abstract:

The full genetic sequence of sulphur-metabolizing organism Archaeoglobus fulgidus has been established. A genetic map of 2,178,400 base pairs containing 2,436 open reading frames is illustrated. A significant proportion of genetic information is similar to the archaeon organism Methanococcus jannaschii. Genetic evidence shows that A. fulgidus uses a number of different electron transport systems.

The genome sequence of Bacillus anthracis ames and comparison to closely related bacteria

Article Abstract:

The complete sequence of the chromosome of Bacillus anthracisames (about 5.23 megabases) was analyzed. It was found that several chromosomally encoded proteins might contribute to pathogenicity and numerous surface proteins were identified that might be important targets for vaccines and drugs.
