Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula
Microorganisms, 2021 Several haloarchaea are reported to be pleomorphic, while others exhibit remarkable shapes, such as squares. Recently, Haloferax volcanii was found to alter its morphology during growth.

Sequence analysis of an Archaeal virus isolated from a hypersaline lake in Inner Mongolia, China
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background We are profoundly ignorant about the diversity of viruses that infect the domain Archaea. Less than 100 have been identified and described and very few of these have had their genomic sequences determined.

Cellular and Genomic Properties of Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the Host of Euryarchaeal Virus HFTV1
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hypersaline environments are the source of many viruses infecting different species of halophilic euryarchaea. Information on infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses is scarce, due to the lack of genetically accessible virus–host models. Recently, a new

Structural insights into the mechanism of archaellar rotational switching
Nature Communications, 2022 Signal transduction via phosphorylated CheY is conserved in bacteria and archaea. In this study, the authors employ structural biochemistry combined with cell biology to delineate the mechanism of CheY recognition by the adaptor protein CheF.

Insights into the spool-like architecture and infection strategy of an enveloped archaeal virus. [PDF]
Sci AdvArchaeal viruses are well known for their diverse morphologies and extreme stability. Here, we used cryo–electron tomography to analyze the structure of Sulfolobus ellipsoid virus 1 (SEV1), an archaeal virus with an ellipsoidal shape and a lipid envelope, and its infection strategy.

Influence of N-Glycosylation on Virus–Host Interactions in Halorubrum lacusprofundi
Viruses, 2023 N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that occurs across all three domains of life. In Archaea, N-glycosylation is crucial for cell stability and motility, but importantly also has significant implications for virus–host ...

Structure and cell biology of archaeal virus STIV [PDF]
Current Opinion in Virology, 2012 Recent investigations of archaeal viruses have revealed novel features of their structures and life cycles when compared to eukaryotic and bacterial viruses, yet there are structure-based unifying themes suggesting common ancestral relationships among dsDNA viruses in the three kingdoms of life.

Isolation of archaeal viruses with lipid membrane from Tengchong acidic hot springs
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Archaeal viruses are one of the most mysterious parts of the virosphere because of their diverse morphologies and unique genome contents. The crenarchaeal viruses are commonly found in high temperature and acidic hot springs, and the number of identified
