Archaea are organisms consisting of a single cell without a nucleus and with distinct structural, physiological and evolutionary characteristics. They inhabit a wide range of habitats, including ...

The researchers specifically examined how these archaea engage in antagonistic interactions, where one microorganism kills or inhibits the growth of another, with a focus on Halogeometricum ...
