Researchers demonstrate how the motility structure of the unicellular archaea is fixed to the cell wall of archaea – a type of unicellular life form. In addition, the researchers demonstrated ...

Researchers have clarified for the first time how chromatin in archaea, one of the three evolutionary branches of organisms in nature, binds to DNA. The results offer valuable clues into the ...

The first look at how archaea package their DNA reveals they’re a lot like us Peek into microbes hints that packing scheme for genetic material goes way back ...

Flagella, cilia and pili are all similar in shape, however, each possesses a different structure and biological function. This article outlines the features of flagella, cilia and pili, including ...

Archaea—one of the three primary domains of life alongside bacteria and eukaryotes—are often overlooked and sometimes mistaken for bacteria due to their single-celled nature and lack of a ...

A decade ago, the existence of Asgard archaea was unknown. However, in 2015, researchers analyzing deep-sea sediments uncovered gene fragments that suggested the presence of a new, previously ...

"Archaea have long been overlooked," says Moissl-Eichinger. "They may play a significant role in gut function, microbial gas metabolism and possibly even the development or progression of certain ...

BP reported three new Archaea projects came online in the first quarter, including two at Rumpke landfills. Elsewhere, Opal Fuels reported a strong quarter and a new project with Republic Services ...
