Screening of a Haloferax volcanii Transposon Library Reveals Novel Motility and Adhesion Mutants
Life, 2016 Archaea, like bacteria, use type IV pili to facilitate surface adhesion. Moreover, archaeal flagella—structures required for motility—share a common ancestry with type IV pili.

Assembly and Function of the Archaeal Motility Structure, the Archaellum [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 Most archaea posses a motility structure, called the archaellum that is mainly used for swimming, but can also play a role in adherence to surfaces. Although the archaellum functionally resembles the bacterial flagellum, its structure and assembly is reminiscent of bacterial type IV pili.We use the crenarchaeal archaellum of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ...

Mechanisms for Electron Uptake by \u3cem\u3eMethanosarcina acetivorans\u3c/em\u3e during Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]
, 2021 Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between bacteria and methanogenic archaea appears to be an important syntrophy in both natural and engineered methanogenic environments.

Tree of motility – A proposed history of motility systems in the tree of life [PDF]
, 2020 Motility often plays a decisive role in the survival of species. Five systems of motility have been studied in depth: those propelled by bacterial flagella, eukaryotic actin polymerization and the eukaryotic motor proteins myosin, kinesin and dynein ...

A systems biology approach reveals major metabolic changes in the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus in response to the carbon source L-fucose versus D-glucose [PDF]
, 2016 Archaea are characterised by a complex metabolism with many unique enzymes that differ from their bacterial and eukaryotic counterparts. The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is known for its metabolic versatility and is able to utilize ...

Proposed Role for KaiC-Like ATPases as Major Signal Transduction Hubs in Archaea
mBio, 2017 All organisms must adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions and accordingly have evolved diverse signal transduction systems. In bacteria, the most abundant networks are built around the two-component signal transduction systems that include ...

Power, competition, and the nature of history [PDF]
, 2019 Historians have debated whether pathways and events from the past to the present are influenced largely by contingency, the dependence of outcomes on particular prior conditions, or whether there is long-term emergent directional change.

Archaeal membrane-associated proteases: insights on Haloferax volcanii and other haloarchaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The function of membrane proteases range from general house-keeping to regulation of cellular processes. Although the biological role of these enzymes in archaea is poorly understood, some of them are implicated in the biogenesis of the archaeal cell ...
