}}Hadesarchaea, formerly called the South-African Gold Mine Miscellaneous Euryarchaeal Group, are a class of thermophile microorganisms that have been found in deep mines, hot springs and other subterranean environments.[1]

Nomenclature

These archea were initially called South-African Gold Mine Miscellaneous Euryarchaeal Group (SAGMEG) after their initial site of discovery.[2] The name Hadesarchaea was proposed by Baker et al. in 2016, a reference to the Greek god of the underworld.[1]

Genome

Shotgun sequencing has shown the genome of Hadesarchaea to be approximately 1.5 Megabase pairs in size,[1] about .5 Mbp smaller than most archea.[3]

Habitat and metabolism

These microbes were first discovered in a gold mine in South Africa at a depth of approximately 3 km (2 mi),[2] where they are able to live without oxygen or light.[3][4][5] They were later also found in the White Oak River estuary in North Carolina and in Yellowstone National Park's Lower Culex Basin.[10] These areas are approximately 70 °C (158 °F) and highly alkaline.[6]

Hadesarchaea are unique among known archaea in that they can convert carbon monoxide and water to carbon dioxide and oxygen, producing hydrogen as a by-product. In other ways, they are similar to anerobic euryarchaeotic bacteria.[6] Initial research suggests that these organisms are also involved in significant geochemical processes.[1]
