Still, current data suggests gut archaea are not as varied as their bacterial neighbors. “We made a census of the diversity of methanogens in the gut, and we found around 30 species, which is not a ...

SPILLING THEIR GUTS Deep-sea archaea, found in seafloor sediment, are more vulnerable to virus attacks than their bacteria neighbors, new research suggests. Those killing sprees release a ...

Previously undescribed lineage of Archaea illuminates microbial evolution Date: August 10, 2020 Source: Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research Summary: Scientists describe a previously ...

As of the 1970’s, however, microbiologists no longer consider archaea bacteria, but classify them as a separate domain in all life forms. So, now we have archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes, the latter ...

The Archaea was recognized as a third domain of life 40 years ago. In this Review, Eme et al. outline a brief history of the changing shape of the tree of life and examine how the recent discovery ...

In the late 1970’s, our understanding of the tree of life was fundamentally changed with the discovery and recognition of Archaea, a third domain of life along with Bacteria and Eukarya. While ...

Origins of DNA folding suggested in archaea Date: August 10, 2017 Source: Howard Hughes Medical Institute Summary: Proteins in archaea bend strands of DNA in a way that's similar in eukaryotes ...

Thanks to a wealth of new genomic sequence data, the family tree of Archaea, which encompassed just two phyla 16 years ago, has exploded in recent years. It now includes more than a dozen phyla, ...
