Sun, et al (2021): Inferred to be a hetero-organotroph with genetic code expansions, i.e., recoding, allowing the incorporation of the rare 21st amino acid selenocysteine. Type species: Jordiarchaeum madagascariense.
Jordiarchaeaceae Jordiarchaeum madagascarienseTs seqco.de/i:630
Species Jordiarchaeum madagascarienseTs [ma.da.ga.scar.i.en'se] N.L. neut. adj. madagascariense, of or pertaining to Madagascar, an island country in the Indian Ocean
Sun, et al (2021): This uncultured lineage is represented by the genome “EB_bin_7”, NCBI BioSample SAMN19461862, recovered from elephant bird fossils in Madagascar, with an estimated completeness of 95.02% and a contamination of 2.41%, the presence of a 23S, 16S and 5S rRNA gene and 16 tRNAs.
