Many of Earth’s plants, animals and organisms aren’t in your phone’s emoji library. We’ve created 8 emojis to help compensate.

Scientists are using genetic scissors one-third the size of CRISPR Cas9/Cas12a to develop a more resilient rice strain. Sourced from a hardy archaebacteria, the repurposed protein 1 can easily ...

A Northwestern University team has demonstrated a remarkable new way to generate electricity, with a paperback-sized device that nestles in soil and harvests power created as microbes break down ...

Animal Classification Guide: learn about animal species, phylums, scientific names, classes, and how all species are organized A-Z Animals ...

Though species from both the archaea and bacteria domains can inhabit the human body, archaebacteria are also famous for their ability to thrive in some of the Earth’s most extreme habitats.

In bogs, these microbes reside above the methane-belching archaebacteria and remove much of the gas. Without the methane eaters, far more greenhouse gas would reach the atmosphere. How will these ...

Archaebacteria constitute an important domain of the life on earth. It includes majority of the known extremophiles found in nature including halophilic archaebacteria. Halophilic archaea are found in ...

J. Ladapo, W. B. Whitman, Method for isolation of auxotrophs in the methanogenic archaebacteria: Role of the acetyl-CoA pathway of autotrophic CO 2 fixation in Methanococcus maripaludis.

The crenarchaeon Sulfolobus synthesizes the N-glycan core in the identical way as all Eukaryotes, which strengthens the hypothesis that the eukaryotic N-glycosylation is acquired from an ancient ...

Term-seq, genetic and biochemical experiments reveal that the trans-action factor aCPSF1 and the terminator U-tract cis-element work in a noteworthy two-in-one termination mode in archaea, and may ...

Abstract: Genomic sequencing and thermodynamic predictions suggest that methanogenic Archaebacteria may contribute to heavy metal reduction at the community level. Microorganisms from six Yellowstone ...
