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.

A recent study has shown that they also have the potential to fix inorganic carbon—in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2)— to generate acetate, an important fuel for other sediment-dwelling organisms ...

The proposed natural gas plant in Three Oaks could be no more.The company behind the proposed project has abruptly withdrawn ...

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 ...

From the flamboyant blossoms and birds of rainforests to the living rainbows of coral reefs, Earth’s surface is teeming with life. But some of its most diverse and fascinating biomes are thriving in ...

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 ...

Scientists investigated microbial movement as a potential biosignature for detecting life on Mars and beyond, offering a ...

While previous research had described bidirectional promoters in eukaryotes, as well as in a few bacteria and archaea species, the new study establishes divergent transcription—the reading of genes in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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