Abstract Background Cultivable archaeal species are assigned to two phyla - the Crenarchaeota and the Euryarchaeota - by a number of important genetic differences and this ancient split is strongly supported by phylogenetic analysis. The recently described hyperthermophile Nanoarchaeum equitans harboring the smallest cellular genome ever sequenced 480 kb has been suggested as the representative of a new phylum - the Nanoarchaeota - that would have diverged before the Crenarchaeota Euryarchaeota split. Confirming the phylogenetic position of N. equitans is thus crucial for deciphering the history of the archaeal domain. Results We tested the placement of N. equitans in the archaeal .
