Previous studies showed that the cellular amino acid composition obtained by amino acid analysis of whole cells, differs such as eubacteria, protozoa, fungi and mammalian cells. These results suggest that the difference in the cellular amino acid composition reflects biological changes as the result of evolution. However, the basic pattern of cellular amino acid composition was relatively constant in all organisms examined. In the present study, we examined archaeobacteria, because they are considered important in understanding the relationship between biological evolution and cellular amino acid composition. The cellular amino acid compositions of Archaeoglobus fulgidus, Pyrococcus horikoshii, Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Methanococcus jannaschii differed slightly from each other, but were similar to those determined from codon usage data, based on the complete genomes. Thus, the cellular amino acid composition reflects biological evolution. We suggest that primitive forms of life appearing on earth at the end of prebiotic evolution had a similar-cellular amino acid composition.
