The Nanoarchaeota are smaller, and have a shorter genome, then any other archaean.
Nanoarchaeota could be a primitive and ancient group.
Stetter and his colleagues found the Nanoarchaeota 120 metres down in the sea off the north coast of Iceland.

 Phylum Nanoarchaeota   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Nanoarchaeota are a new phylum of Archaea, represented by a nanosized hyperthermophilic symbiont.
This archaeon cannot be attached to one of these groups and therefore must represent an unknown phylum which we name 'Nanoarchaeota' and species, which we name 'Nanoarchaeum equitans'.
The distribution of the 'Nanoarchaeota' is so far unknown.

These organisms have the shortest genome of all known genomes at only half a million base pairs.
They have been named Nanoarchaeota, and are members of the Archaea bacteria group that contains some of the oldest known organisms.
It is speculated that this Nanoarchaeota species might actually be the link between cells and earlier life forms.

 Discovery of undersea creature leads to new archaeal phylum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The creature, named Nanoarchaeum equitans, is a member of the Archaea, the domain of life that is separate from plants, animals, and bacteria.
The microbe does not fit any existing taxonomic groups, so the researchers who discovered it have proposed a new archaeal phylum called Nanoarchaeota, which stands for 'dwarf archaea.'
Since publication of the paper in Nature on May 2, Diversa, a biotechnology company in San Diego, California, and Celera in Rockville, Maryland, announced that they have together completed the genome of Nanoarchaeum.

 The Wedge Update: May 31, 2002
But it is so different from its fellow archaeons that researchers created a new phylum, Nanoarchaeota, to accommodate it.
More dubiously, they argue that Nanoarchaeum is a very early offshoot on the "tree of life," branching off from the Archaea before that group diversified.
However, its high growth temperature and anaerobic mode of life correlates with probable early environmental conditions which suggest that the 'Nanoarchaeota' are possibly still a primitive form of microbial life."

In contrast, N. equitans has a large set of genes devoted to DNA replication, transcription, and translation, indicating a complexity of information processing similar to more evolved Archaea.
The scientists conclude that the Nanoarchaeota kingdom diverged early on in the evolution of Archaea and suggest that a world of organisms within this kingdom has yet to be discovered.
