The deep biosphere in terrestrial sediments in the Chesapeake Bay area, Virginia, USA
For the first time quantitative data on the abundance of Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya in deep terrestrial sediments are provided using multiple methods (total cell counting, quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) and catalyzed reporter deposition ...

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change
Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

The deep-sea represents a substantial portion of the biosphere and has a major influence on carbon cycling and global biogeochemistry. Benthic deep-sea prokaryotes have crucial roles in this ecosystem, with their recycling of organic matter from the ...

Diving deep into the origins of refractory dissolved amino acids in the ocean
Abstract Amino acids are key constituents of marine peptides and proteins and are generally considered biologically labile or semi‐labile, yet their widespread occurrence throughout the ocean suggests bioresistance over extended timescales. To investigate this paradox, we conducted two parallel shipboard incubation experiments to track microbial ...

The black soil region of Northeast China is crucial for agricultural productivity. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are key indicators of soil nitrification in this region, yet it remains unclear whether this process is driven by the entire community or ...

ABSTRACT We present the first x‐ray crystallographic structural evidence of an archaeal DNA ligase showing the AMP covalent adduct together with further cofactor hydrolysis, capturing a transient intermediary in the first step of the ligation reaction, triggered by the pyrophosphate hydrolysis.

Crystal structures of A. pernix PCNA1 (1.60 Å resolution) and PCNA2 (2.17 Å resolution) are reported. High‐resolution analysis reveals a rare nonproline cis‐peptide bond in PCNA1 that may cause steric hindrance at the subunit interface, suggesting a distorted or symmetry‐broken heterotrimeric PCNA ring.Aeropyrum pernix is a hyperthermophilic archaeon ...

New insights on the mechanism of the K(+-) independent activity of crenarchaeota pyruvate kinases.
Eukarya pyruvate kinases have glutamate at position 117 (numbered according to the rabbit muscle enzyme), whereas in Bacteria have either glutamate or lysine and in Archaea have other residues.
