Bacteria and archaea are single-celled creatures that lack internal membrane-enclosed structures, like a nucleus to hold their genetic material. Single-celled eukaryotes have a nucleus and may ...

But there is a third domain of life missing from medical literature: archaea. 1,2 This group of microbes, first classified in 1977, was originally mistaken for bacteria due to their similar appearance ...

The study has shown that these archaeal microbes are like predators that attack and kill host cells, which seem to be other, larger archaeal cells. Archaea are not as well understood as organisms on ...

They can be commonly found on many types of bacteria and archaea that use long-range electron transfer as a form of metabolism. The findings have been reported in Cell. Geobacter sulfurreducens ...

Hidden inside this dinoflagellate (Citharistes regius) is a tiny microbe so reliant on its host that scientists say it’s the most viruslike cellular organism known, according to Science magazine.
