An international team of microbiologists from the Medical University of Graz, the DSMZ—German Collection of Microorganisms ...

Archaea—one of the three primary domains of life alongside bacteria and eukaryotes—are often overlooked and sometimes ...

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But ...

When subjected to physical pressure, archaea - ancient single-celled organisms - form multicellular structures.

An international scientific team has redefined our understanding of archaea, a microbial ancestor to humans from two billion ...

Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar biologically (members of both groups consist of tiny cells without much internal structure) and different from eukaryotes. However, until ...

After further searches, microbiologists identified the corresponding organisms, described them, and classified them as a separate archaeal subgroup called Asgard archaea. Like bacteria ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

On the basis of the bacteria and archaea communities and their distribution in the waters, the UPV/EHU researchers saw that ...
