General Information

General Information	Comment	Organism
evolution	the number of archaeal clades encoding the MCR continues to grow, suggesting that this complex is inherited from an ancient ancestor, or has undergone extensive horizontal gene transfer, detailed phylogenetic analysis and tree, overview. Candidatus Polytropus marinifundus gen. nov. sp. nov. encodes two divergent McrABG operons similar to those found in Candidatus Bathyarchaeota and Candidatus Syntrophoarchaeum metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). The Ca. P. marinifundus MCR operons are horizontally transferred	Candidatus Polytropus marinifundus
physiological function	the methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) complex is a key enzyme in archaeal methane generation and has been proposed to also be involved in the oxidation of short-chain hydrocarbons including methane, butane, and potentially propane	Candidatus Polytropus marinifundus
