Largest known genome size?

[daemon at net.bio.net]

Dear colleagues,

We are currently maintaining a database of genome sizes- DOGS
at http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/databases/DOGS/index.html
 
Our largest estimated genome size is that of Lilium longiflorum         
(trumpet lily) with a genome size of 90,000,000,000 basepairs.

We recently got a question about *the* largest known genome 
size and therefore put it before you. 

Is there any organism with a genome size larger than 90,000,000,000
basepairs?

Another request concerned primitive multicellular organisms
and genome size. E.g. what is the genome size of the
jellyfish? Anyone has an estimate?

Thanks for taking interest.

Best regards,
Nikolaj
