- Abstract:
- A comparative analysis of the codon usage bias was conducted in Methanosarcina mazei str.Goe1 and two related Euryarchaeota microorganisms(Picrophilus torridus str.DSM 9790 and Natronomonas pharaonis str.DSM 2160).Results revealed that synonymous codon usage in Methanosarcina mazei str.Goe1 was less biased, which was highly correlated with the GC3S value.And the codon usage patterns were phylogenetically conserved among those Euryarchaeota microorganisms.By employing a hierarchical clustering analysis, it can be seen that it is more the species than the gene function that determines their gene codon usage patterns.Considering that those microorganisms live in different environments where the pH conditions vary quite a lot, it can be presumed that their living environments, especially the pH conditions, play an important role in determining those microorganisms’ codon usage patterns.
