The Thaumarchaeota or Thaumarchaea (from the Greek 'thaumas', meaning wonder) are a phylum of the Archaea proposed in 2008 after the genome of ''Cenarchaeum symbiosum'' was sequenced and found to differ significantly from other members of the hyperthermophilic phylum Crenarchaeota. Three described species in addition to ''C. symbosium'' are ''Nitrosopumilus maritimus'', ''Nitrososphaera viennensis'', and ''Nitrososphaera gargensis''.〔 All organisms of this lineage thus far identified are chemolithoautotrophic ammonia-oxidizers and may play important roles in biogeochemical cycles, such as the nitrogen cycle and the carbon cycle. The phylum was proposed in 2008 based on phylogenetic data, such as the sequences of these organisms' ribosomal RNA genes, and the presence of a form of type I topoisomerase that was previously thought to be unique to the eukaryotes.〔 This assignment was confirmed by further analysis published in 2010 that examined the genomes of the ammonia-oxidizing archaea ''Nitrosopumilus maritimus'' and ''Nitrososphaera gargensis'', concluding that these species form a distinct lineage that includes ''Cenarchaeum symbiosum''. ==See also==
