Abstract excerpt
The Nanoarchaeota, proposed as the fourth sub-division of the Archaea in 2002, are known from a single isolate, Nanoarchaeum equitans, which exists in a symbiotic association with the hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeote, Ignicoccus. N. equitans fails to amplify with standard archaeal 16S PCR primers and can only be amplified using specifically designed primers. We have designed a new set of universal archaeal primers...
