Community genomic data obtained without PCR or cultivation was used to reconstruct DNA fragments bearing unusual 16S ribosomal RNA and protein-coding genes from organisms belonging to novel archaeal lineages, revealing cells are pleomorphic with unusual folded membrane protrusions and have apparent volumes of <0.006 cubic micrometer.
