Ca. Scheffleriplasma hospitalis and Ca. Micrarchaeum harzensis genes are highlighted in light blue and violet, respectively. The Maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees shown here included our archaeal backbone dataset (Supplementary Data 7) and were inferred for arCOG02937 (149 sequences with 304 amino acids), arCOG00570 (1877 sequences with 132 amino acids) and COG2074 (arCOG01968 and arCOG01967, 121 sequences with 171 amino acids) with the LG+C10+F+R model with an ultrafast bootstrap approximation run with 1000 replicates. Please note, that the inclusions of bacterial and eukaryotic homologues did not change the interpretation of our findings. Note that arCOG02937 and arCOG02074 represent the key enzymes of the Type-III mevalonate pathway characteristic of Thermoplasmatales. Only bootstrap support values above 90 are shown as indicated in the panel.
