A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials As bacteria become increasingly resistant to ...

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ultrasmall bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified the strain ...

Following the drive to understand and control bacteria, it’s becoming clear that our methods have changed the very organisms we aim to understand, increasing resistance to tried-and-true antimicrobial ...

Archaea are microorganisms that were only discovered in the 1970s, and scientists still have a lot to learn about them. One challenge is that archaea are difficult to raise in the laboratory. As of ...

From different angles, EMBL researchers are looking at archaea with the hope these understudied organisms will answer ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments discovered gene fragments that indicated a new and previously undiscovered form ...

Archaea represent a unique and ancient domain of life whose transcriptional regulation combines features of both bacterial and eukaryotic mechanisms. Unlike bacteria, many archaeal regulatory proteins ...

Current hypotheses suggest that all life on Earth evolved from a common ancestor that diversified into the variety of organisms seen today. Scientists propose that the eukaryotic branch of this family ...

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cultivarium, a non-profit bioengineering firm, announced today a three-year project to develop advanced tools for life scientists studying fungi and archaea. With ...
