Scientists around Christa Schleper present the first enrichment of Candidatus Nitrosocaldus cavascurensis- a thermophilic representative with a sequenced genome - from a hot spring in Ischia, Italy. It facilitates the search for adaptive strategies and for traits that shape the evolution of Thaumarchaeota. [read more]
