Though fungi make up a tiny part of the human microbiome, they play an important role in both the prevention and development ...

The discovery of a previously underestimated capability in archaeal, one of the three primary domains of life, is changing our comprehension of energy generation and the origins of eukaryotic life.

Shortly before the Three Oaks Township Planning Commission was scheduled to consider a Special Land Use permit to allow the ...

A team of researchers has found that primitive microorganisms deep in the ocean survive by using the minerals around them.

Archaea are organisms consisting of a single cell without a nucleus and with distinct structural, physiological and evolutionary characteristics. They inhabit a wide range of habitats, including ...

An artificial-intelligence network trained on a vast trove of sequence data is a step towards designing completely new ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

A renewable natural gas plant operator at the Keystone Sanitary Landfill has the green light to drill a nearly 3-mile-deep well in Throop this week as it looks to permanently store carbon dioxide deep ...

Two chiralities are possible: left and right, formally called L for the Latin laevus and D for dexter. All life on Earth uses L proteins and D sugars. Even Archaea, a large group of microorganisms ...

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 ...

As with cows, the problem is burps — lots and lots of tiny burps. Growing rice requires flooding fields, called paddies, with staggering quantities of water. Microbes known as archaea multiply in the ...
