Asgard archaea, proposed as a new archaeal superphylum, are currently composed of five phyla Lokiarchaeota, Thorarchaeota, Odinarchaeota, Heimdallarchaeota, and Helarchaeota. Since Asgard archaea ...

Scientists describe a previously unknown phylum of aquatic Archaea that are likely dependent on partner organisms for growth while potentially being able to conserve some energy by fermentation.

However, other archaea of the Crenarchaeota phylum inhabit “normal” soil, fresh waters, and moderate temperatures; they may be found in most environments. Another branch of archaea (the phylum ...
