Lipidomic chemotaxonomy aligned with phylogeny of Halobacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Archaea play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are considered ancestral to eukaryotes. The unique lipid composition of archaea, characterized by isoprenoid alkyl chains and ether linkage to glycerol-1-phosphate, offers valuable ...

Wide diversity of methane and short-chain alkane metabolisms in uncultured archaea
Nature Microbiology, 2019 Methanogenesis is an ancient metabolism of key ecological relevance, with direct impact on the evolution of Earth’s climate. Recent results suggest that the diversity of methane metabolisms and their derivations have probably been vastly underestimated ...

Asgard archaea capable of anaerobic hydrocarbon cycling
Nature Communications, 2019 Large reservoirs of natural gas in the oceanic subsurface sustain complex communities of anaerobic microbes, including archaeal lineages with potential to mediate oxidation of hydrocarbons such as methane and butane. Here we describe a previously unknown

Complex archaea that bridge the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Nature, 2015 The origin of the eukaryotic cell remains one of the most contentious puzzles in modern biology. Recent studies have provided support for the emergence of the eukaryotic host cell from within the archaeal domain of life, but the identity and nature of ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius can use different carbon sources for growth, including the pentoses D-xylose and L-arabinose. In this study, we identified the activator XylR (saci_2116) responsible for the transcriptional regulation ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Haloferax volcanii and other Haloarchaea can be pleomorphic, adopting different shapes, which vary with growth stages. Several studies have shown that H.

Nature Communications, 2018 Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are ubiquitous and abundant in nature and play a major role in nitrogen cycling. AOA have been studied intensively based on the amoA gene (encoding ammonia monooxygenase subunit A), making it the most sequenced functional ...

Electron cryo-microscopy reveals the structure of the archaeal thread filament
Nature Communications, 2022 Pili are filamentous appendages on the surface of bacteria and archaea, and play roles in multiple processes such as adhesion, motility and horizontal gene transfer. Here, Gaines et al. describe the structure of a new type of pilus, termed ‘thread’, from

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Climate change is causing arctic regions to warm disproportionally faster than those at lower latitudes, leading to alterations in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and potentially higher greenhouse gas emissions.
