To alleviate the nomenclature confusion, we constructed an updated RAxML tree (Fig. Considering that the marine subseafloor environment is one of the largest reservoirs of the prokaryotic biomass on Earth, with an estimated microbial abundance of 2.9 1029 cells and harboring ca 9.131.5% of all prokaryotes on Earth (Kallmeyeretal.2012), the predominance and activity of Bathyarchaeota in the marine subsurface sediments indicates that these microbes might play a crucial role in global biogeochemical nutrient cycling. Reconsideration of the potential methane-oxidizing contribution of Bathyarchaeota would refine the congruency between the predicted and observed microbial communities, i.e. Given the high phylogenetic diversity within the 25 subgroups of Bathyarchaeota, many efforts have been made to understand the key factors that control their distribution and evolution. The first comprehensive phylogenetic tree of Bathyarchaeota was constructed in 2012 (Kuboetal.2012); it was based on 4720 bathyarchaeotal sequences from the SILVA database (SSU Ref NR106 and SSU Parc106). The exclusive archaeal origin of the Ack-Pta homoacetogenesis pathway is different from other archaeal acetogenesis systems but shares functional similarity with its bacterial origin counterparts, although it is phylogenetically divergent (Heetal.2016). The clear growth stimulus and lignin-related 13C-bicarbonate incorporation into lipids strongly suggests that Bathyarchaeota (Subgroup-8) may be able to use the second-most abundant biopolymer lignin on Earth (Yuetal.2018). Draft Genome Sequence of " Candidatus These findings expand the metabolic potential of archaea and argue for a revision of the role of archaea in the carbon cycle in marine sediments (Heetal.2016). However, their life strategies have remained largely elusive. Fillol M, Auguet J-C, Casamayor EO et al. Taxonomy browser (Candidatus Bathyarchaeota) - National The marine/freshwater segregation is a distribution pattern widely shared by diverse microorganisms, including archaea, bacteria, viruses and eukaryotes (Logaresetal.2009). Four genomes (Subgroups-1, -6, -7 and -15) were recovered from the sediment metagenome. Obtaining direct physiological evidence for the generation or oxidization of methane by Bathyarchaeota in the future is also important. Further, the IndVal index, which reflects the level of relative abundance and frequency of occurrence, suggests that selective bathyarchaeotal subgroups are bio-indicator lineages in both freshwater and saline environments, as determined by a multivariate regression tree analysis (Filloletal.2016). The distinct bathyarchaeotal subgroups diverged to adapt to marine and freshwater environments. Markers for individual pathway/function were scanned against genomes using the HMM and KEGG databases (Anantharamanetal.2016; Kanehisa, Sato and Morishima 2016; Spang, Caceres and Ettema 2017). Currently available bathyarchaeotal genomes (from GenBank, 29 November 2017 updated) with 16S rRNA gene sequences were labeled in the tree. Considering the bathyarchaeotal community structure, depth is the first variable responsible for the high degree of absolute subgroup separation, followed by sulfide concentration (reflecting the redox conditions), which is responsible for a low degree of subgroup separation (Lazaretal.2015). Logares R, Brate J, Bertilsson S et al. First, successful enrichment methods that would allow harvesting sufficient bathyarchaeotal biomass to explore their physiological and genomic characteristics have not yet been established. The Distribution of Bathyarchaeota in Surface Sediments Hallam SJ, Putnam N, Preston CM et al. The gene for cytoplasmic flavin adenine dinucleotide-containing dehydrogenase (glcD) co-located with hdrD, indicating that BA1 uses lactate to reduce heterodisulfide in methanogenesis. Genomic and enzymatic evidence for acetogenesis among In this process, methane is not assimilated by Bathyarchaeota but serves as an energy source. The members of the Bathyarchaeota are the most abundant archaeal components of the transitional zone between the freshwater and saltwater benthic sediments along the Pearl River, with a central position within the co-occurrence network among other lineages (Liuetal.2014). The subgroups MCG-18, -19 and -20 were firstly named in Lazar et al.s study, but only MCG-19 was represented in the phylogenetic tree (Lazaretal.2015). Methanogenesis and acetogenesis are considered to be the two most fundamental and ancient microbial biochemical energy conservation processes, and they both employ the WoodLjungdahl pathway for CO2 reduction and ATP generation (Weissetal.2016). (2016), it appears that these microbes rely on the acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acd) to generate acetate (Heetal.2016). Our results provide an overview of the archaeal population, The versatile metabolic properties of Bathyarchaeota, including acetogenesis, methane cycling, potential photosynthesis, and dissimilatory nitrite and sulfate reduction, etc., indicate that their ecological and phylogenetic characteristics are quite diverse, and given their basal phylogenetic position at the root of archaea, the evolutionary paths of those capabilities are also of great meaning for understanding the evolution of early life (Evansetal.2015; Heetal.2016; Lazaretal.2016; Zhangetal.2016). The inset table shows the distribution of subgroups in major environmental categories. Uncultured archaea in deep marine subsurface sediments: have we caught them all? The current genomic and physiological information of these subgroups also suggests their potential ecological strategies and functions in specific habitats, further highlighting their important roles in global biogeochemical cycling (Xiangetal.2017). A segregated distribution of bathyarchaeotal subgroups was also observed in the water column and sediments in freshwater karstic lakes (Filloletal.2015). These archaeal groups are the phylogenetically closest ones to the protoeukaryote that served as the mitochondrion-acquiring host; this gave rise to a hydrogen hypothesis that explains their hydrogen-dependent metabolism to address the mitochondrion acquisition and subsequent endosymbiont processes. More recently, acetogenesis, a metabolic process deemed to be restricted to the domain bacteria, was also suggested to take place in some lineages of Bathyarchaeota (Heetal.2016; Lazaretal.2016), expanding the metabolic potential of archaea. Sousa FL, Neukirchen S, Allen JF et al. Liu et al. Phylogenetic tree of bathyarchaeotal 16S rRNA genes. The analysis of the stable isotopic-probed microcosms from Cheesequake salt marsh sediment revealed that all Crenarchaeota groups, which still include Bathyarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota (formerly Crenarchaeota MG 1.a) and other Crenarchaeota groups, are heterotrophic and do not incorporate 13C-bicarbonate (Seyler, McGuinness and Kerkhof 2014). The branching order of Subgroups-13 to -17 was unstable when analyzed by different tree-construction methods, and they were presented as multifurcated branches. In surface and shallow subsurface sediments (surficial to 10 cm deep) of an intertidal mudflat of Brouage in the Bay of Marennes-Olron, however, the abundances of Subgroup-15 and other bathyarchaeotal subgroups are stable, while the total abundance of Euryarchaeota sequences increases in the same depth range (Hlneetal.2015). Devereux R, Mosher JJ, Vishnivetskaya TA et al. In total, 17 subgroups with 76% similarity shared by the most remote sequences were designated; however, 12% of all sequences remained ungrouped. That approach revealed an order of magnitude increase in bathyarchaeotal abundance in both the control and experimental groups compared with time zero; however, no significant increase of bathyarchaeotal abundance was observed in experimental groups with substrate additives and various cultivation processing steps, compared with control groups with basal medium alone. their relatively high abundance in the global marine subsurface ecosystem (Kuboetal.2012; Lloydetal.2013), they are also metabolically active in the subsurface sediments across geological time scales. Further membrane lipid characterization of enriched or pure bathyarchaeotal cultures will help to validate this discovery. Furthermore, another study demonstrated that the archaeal communities of the sulfatemethane transition zone at diffusion-controlled sediments of Aarhus Bay (Denmark) contain considerable amounts of Bathyarchaeota; the overall archaeal community structure did not change greatly during the experimentits diversity was lower after 6 months of incubation under heterotrophic conditions, with periodic modest sulfate and acetate additions (Websteretal.2011). Regarding the functional properties, metabolic pathway analysis revealed that BA1 is a peptide and glucose fermenter, while BA2 is a fatty-acid oxidizer (Evansetal.2015). This is the first ever genomic evidence for homoacetogenesis, the ability to solely utilize CO2 and H2 to generate acetate, in an archaeal genome and of distinct archaeal phylogenetic origin other than that of Bacteria (Heetal.2016). A recent study found that the refractory aromatic polymer lignin stimulated the growth of Bathyarchaeota (Subgroup-8) and they incorporated CO2 as a carbon source autotrophically and utilized lignin as an energy source (Yuetal.2018). Diverse Bathyarchaeotal Lineages Dominate Archaeal Metabolic pathways of the Members of the archaeal phylum Bathyarchaeota are widespread and abundant in the energy-deficient marine subsurface sediments. To increase the permeability of the cell wall and obtain a good amplification signal, a 10-min 0.01 M HCl treatment may be employed (Kuboetal.2012). It is well known that isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids are specifically synthesized by archaea. The metagenomic binning of WOR estuarine sediment DNA led to the reconstruction of draft genomes of four widespread Bathyarchaeota, with the genome completeness in the range of 4898% (Lazaretal.2016). This was confirmed by a permutational analysis of variance, with salinity as the best explanatory variable for the variance within the bathyarchaeotal community (R2 = 0.04, P < 0.001) (Filloletal.2016). Both Bathyarchaeota and the recently identified more basally branched Lokiarchaeota acquired the H4MPT-dependent WoodLjungdahl pathway and the hydrogen-dependent electron bifurcating system MvhADG-HdrABC, viewed as typical for the anaerobic and hydrogen-dependent archaeal lifestyle (Lazaretal.2016; Sousaetal.2016). In terms of energy metabolism, these archaea contain the WoodLjungdahl pathway, capable of generating acetyl-CoA autotrophically by CO2 and H2. Metagenomic sequencing of fracture fluid from South Africa recovered a nearly complete " Candidatus Bathyarchaeota" archaeon genome. Anantharaman K, Brown CT, Hug LA et al. On the other hand, the subgroups MCG-18 and MCG-19 were also named in Fillol et al.s research (Filloletal.2016). Because of the wide distribution of this lipid in many other archaea, it cannot be used for the detection of Bathyarchaeota and its carbon stable isotopic composition cannot be used for metabolic property deductions. Tree building intermediate files are publicly available (https://github.com/ChaoLab/Bathy16Stree). Two highly abundant MCR variants were detected in Ca. Core Metabolic Features and Hot Origin of Bathyarchaeota The Bathyarchaeota formerly known as the Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal Group is an evolutionarily diverse group of microorganisms found in a wide range of Summary. Jacquemet A, Barbeau J, Lemiegre L et al. The phylum Bathyarchaeota, which has high species and functional diversity, is abundant and widespread in marine sediments. 1) (for details see Kuboetal.2012). The phylogenetic affiliation of sequences found in peat suggest that members of the thus-far-uncultivated group Candidatus Bathyarchaeota (representing a fourth phylum) may be involved in methane cycling, either anaerobic oxidation of methane and/or methanogenesis, as at least a few organisms within this group contain the essential In this tree, the Subgroups-1 to -17 were the same as Kubo's tree (Kuboetal.2012), and Subgroup-5 was divided into Subgroups-5a, -5b and -5bb as suggested in Fillol et al.s research (Filloletal.2016). Vertical Distribution of Bathyarchaeotal Communities in 2012 ). Yuetal. In experiments towards cultivating Bathyarchaeota from the White Oak River estuary sediments, the abundance of Bathyarchaeota in control groups (basal medium) and in experimental groups containing various substrate additives and submitted to various culture processing steps were compared (Gagenetal.2013). Schematic figure representing major eco-niches of Bathyarchaeota. Second, determining whether the methane cycling capacity is confined to certain subgroups or whether numerous subgroups or lineages are capable of methane cycling, and if so, the nature of their shared evolutionary or genomic characteristics, is of utmost importance. Hence, Bathyarchaeota acquired the core heterotrophic metabolic capacity for processing complex carbohydrates, and an additional ability to utilize peptides and amino acids, as suggested before (Seyler, McGuinness and Kerkhof 2014). Considering the relative abundance of lineages in the separated leaves, Bathyarchaeota accounted for the greatest proportion of lineage variance in the freshwater and saline environments. They also acquired some subunits of coenzyme F420 hydrogenase; this enzyme generates reduced ferredoxin, with hydrogen as the electron donor, as an alternative to MvhADG in many Methanomicrobiales (Thaueretal.2008; Lazaretal.2016; Sousaetal.2016). The evidence for the presence of respiratory metabolism in other bathyarchaeotal subgroups is ambiguous although it cannot be excluded (Lazaretal.2016). Furthermore, genes encoding ATP sulfurylase, for the reduction of sulfate to adenosine 5-phosphosulfate, and adenylyl-sulfate reductase, for the reduction of adenosine 5-phosphosulfate to sulfite, were identified in a metagenomic assembly of Bathyarchaeota TCS49 genome from the Thuwal cold seep brine pool of the Red Sea; this suggests that specific bathyarchaeotal members might harbor a dissimilatory sulfate reduction pathway, indicating the existence of additional potential metabolic capacities of Bathyarchaeota (Zhangetal.2016). This method has been used to target the bathyarchaeotal 16S rRNA gene with specific probes, providing information on the active bathyarchaeotal community without culturing (Table 1). Introduction. Four major heterotrophic pathways centralized on the acetyl-CoA generation are summarized below, reflecting the core metabolism of fermentation and acetogenesis (Fig. Boetius A, Ravenschlag K, Schubert CJ et al. Recently, Subgroup-15 was widely detected in both freshwater and marine benthic sediments; its persistent distribution along the sediment depth profile, with higher abundance within active archaeal communities, provides additional hints linking its members physiological traits to habitat preferences (Liuetal.2014). Methanogenic archaea in peatlands 1 and Table S 5 ), and the average proportion of Bathyarchaeota in the mangrove sediments (43.32%, sd = 0.106) was significantly higher than that in the mud flat sediments (36.47%, sd = 0.084) ( p < Vanwonterghem I, Evans PN, Parks DH et al. These physiological, ecological and evolutionary features place Bathyarchaeota in the spotlight of current microbial ecology studies, encouraging further explorations of their impact on global and local biogeochemical carbon cycling. Genomic fragments of the fosmid clone 75G8 harbor a putative methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein- and 4-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase-encoding genes, suggesting that this bathyarchaeotal member (Subgroup-8) is able to utilize aromatic compounds. With respect to its function, the protein might be responsible for photosynthesis in archaea; this suggests that photosynthesis may have evolved before the divergence of the bacteria and archaea domains (Mengetal.2009; Lietal.2012). Subsequent heterologous expression of bathyarchaeotal Ack revealed that the enzyme can catalyze the biochemical reaction in the direction from acetyl phosphate to acetate, with a higher affinity for the substrates than the products (Heetal.2016). Energy flux analysis revealed that AOM and slow degradation of refractory sedimentary organic matter were the two principal energy generation pathways in the local community. The production of a putative 4-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase was evident when the mangrove sediments were supplemented with protocatechuate, further suggesting the capacity of certain bathyarchaeotal members to degrade aromatic compounds (Mengetal.2014). Martin WF, Neukirchen S, Zimorski V et al. Inagaki F, Nunoura T, Nakagawa S et al. The wide availability of buried organic matter in the marine subsurface would favor the heterotrophic feeding of Bathyarchaeota. This study is also a contribution to the Deep Carbon Observatory. Heetal. (2016) demonstrated that half of the bathyarchaeotal genomes encode a set of phosphate acetyltransferase (Pta) and acetate kinase (Ack) for acetate production or assimilation, usually observed in bacteria. No bathyarchaeotal species have as yet been successfully cultured in pure cultures, despite their widespread distribution in the marine, terrestrial and limnic environments (Kuboetal.2012), which hampers their direct physiological characterization. This primer pair shows good specificity toward Bathyarchaeota; it allowed amplification of 10100 times more bathyarchaeotal 16S rRNA gene sequences from the sediment samples from the South China Sea, and the Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans than the MCG242dF/MCG678R primers (Yuetal.2017). 3). Interestingly, one of the highly abundant McrA subunits of Ca. 1) (Heetal.2016; Lazaretal.2016). Bathyarchaeota dominate 16S rRNA clone libraries of transcribed RNA constructed for the Peru Margin ODP site 1229 (Parkesetal.2005; Biddleetal.2006) and the upper 35 m of the subsurface sediments at the Peru Margin ODP site 1227 (Inagakietal.2006; Sorensen and Teske 2006). Ancestral state reconstruction was used to estimate the diversification of bathyarchaeotal lineages previously subjected to the saline/freshwater transition. No methane metabolism genes were recovered from bathyarchaeotal genomic bins or any contigs from the WOR estuarine sediments, in contrast to an earlier study (Evansetal.2015). Subgroup-5 is divided into Subgroups-5a and -5b, each with intragroup similarity >90% according to a maximum-likelihood estimation. Genomic expansion of archaeal lineages resolved from deep Recently, another meta-analysis using newly acquired global sediment bathyarchaeotal sequences resulted in the addition of two more subgroups, Subgroups-18 and -19, with high bootstrap supporting values (96% and 86%, respectively) (Filloletal.2016). The results indicate that the phylum Bathyarchaeota shares a core set of metabolic pathways, including protein degradation, glycolysis, and the reductive acetyl Metabolic pathways of the Frontiers | The Distribution of Bathyarchaeota in Surface Metabolic versatility of freshwater sedimentary archaea feeding Several pre-/non-enriched sediment cultures afforded preliminary evidence for the trophic properties and metabolic capacities of Bathyarchaeota. However, the ecological knowledge of Bathyarchaeota is limited in peatland ecosystems.
