The environmental distribution of the Archaea is distinct from that of the Bacteria, but no single principle provides a satisfactory explanation for their ecological differences. David Valentine ...

Scientists describe a previously unknown phylum of aquatic Archaea that are likely dependent on partner organisms for growth while potentially being able to conserve some energy by fermentation.

Archaea represent a considerable fraction of the prokaryotic world in marine and terrestrial ecosystems, indicating that organisms from this domain might have a large impact on global energy cycles.

The authors of the new work on Asgard archaea argue so strongly for the latter option that they think we should get rid of the three domains idea entirely. Instead, in their view, there are just ...

Members of the phylum Bathyarchaeota are abundant in marine sediments, where they take up carbon from organic compounds in the surrounding environment. A recent study has shown that they also have the ...
