| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study confirmed that DNA obtained from subgingival plaque in patients with periodontitis contained archaeal genomes. Archaeal groups such as Crenarchaeota and DPANN were included in addition to the genus Methanobrevibater, which was previously reported. The results suggest that a diverse Archaeome may be formed in the oral cavity.
