Connecting tubes between bacteria and a kind of microbe called archaea may reflect a symbiotic relationship that led to complex cells more than 2 billion years ago

It has been proposed that eukaryotic cells evolved via symbiosis between sulfate-reducing bacteria and hydrogen-producing archaea. Here we describe a highly enriched culture of a novel Asgard archaeon...

Single-celled organisms called archaea aren't generally thought to cause human disease, but one species has been implicated in colorectal cancer

PhD Project - Life pushed to extremes: probing the mechanisms of chromosome segregation in thermophilic Archaea at University of York, listed on FindAPhD.com

Sleep is a universally conserved behavior with an elusive origin and an uncertain evolutionary purpose. Leveraging phylogenomics, we investigate the evolutionary foundations of sleep by identifying or...

CetZ proteins are archaea-specific homologues of the cytoskeletal proteins FtsZ and tubulin. In the pleomorphic archaeon Haloferax volcanii , CetZ1 contributes to the development of rod shape and moti...
