The human microbiome includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. Most research has focused on bacteria, while little is known about archaea. Although archaea make up just 1.2% of the gut ...

Archaea, key players in the human microbiome, are linked to various diseases but their pathogenic potential remains speculative. This study highlights their role in conditions like periodontitis ...

Bacteria with thick peptidoglycan are called gram positive. If the peptidoglycan layer is thin, it's classified as gram negative. Characteristics of Gram-Positive Bacilli ...

The gastrointestinal system of most animals carries a colony of microbes known as the gut microbiome. Trillions of organisms are thought to live in the human gut microbiome, which has a powerful ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.
