Archaea are single-cell life forms without a nucleus. She also studied which molecular mechanisms are involved in the transmission of signals from the archaea's environment to its motility structure.

We have applied a global analytical approach to uncultured Archaea that for the first time reveals well-defined community patterns along broad environmental gradients and habitat types.

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.

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.

Researchers cultivate archaea that break down crude oil in novel ways Date: June 1, 2023 Source: MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, University of Bremen ...

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 ...

3.42-billion-year-old fossil threads may be the oldest known archaea microbes. ... She has a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from Northwestern University.

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

Archaea make up one of the main divisions of life, next to the Bacteria and the Eukaryotes, the latter of which comprise, for example, fungi, plants and animals.
