Utilization of formic acid by extremely thermoacidophilic archaea species [PDF]
Microbial BiotechnologyThe exploration of novel hosts with the ability to assimilate formic acid, a C1 substrate that can be produced from renewable electrons and CO2, is of great relevance for developing novel and sustainable biomanufacturing platforms.

Coupling chromosome organization to genome segregation in Archaea [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsChromosome segregation is a fundamental process in all life forms and requires coordination with genome organization, replication and cell division. The mechanism that mediates chromosome segregation in archaea remains enigmatic.

Regulation of DNA Topology in Archaea: State of the Art and Perspectives. [PDF]
Mol MicrobiolDNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating DNA supercoiling which affects fundamental biological processes involving DNA. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of regulation of supercoiling by DNA topoisomerases in the third domain of life, the Archaea, with a particular focus on three key model ...

Capturing chromosome conformation in Crenarchaea. [PDF]
Mol MicrobiolTo fit into cells, chromosomes must be folded. Here we describe how members of the Archaea effect this folding process and how chromosome architecture both influences and is influenced by gene expression. Abstract While there is a considerable body of knowledge regarding the molecular and structural biology and biochemistry of archaeal information ...

The Role of Polyphosphate in Motility, Adhesion, and Biofilm Formation in Sulfolobales
Microorganisms, 2021 Polyphosphates (polyP) are polymers of orthophosphate residues linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds that are important in all domains of life and function in many different processes, including biofilm development. To study the effect of polyP in

The Lrs14 family of DNA-binding proteins as nucleoid-associated proteins in the Crenarchaeal order Sulfolobales. [PDF]
Mol MicrobiolCrenarchaeal Sulfolobales organize their genome with small, abundant nucleoid‐associated proteins. Here, we shed light on the distinct function of the Lrs14 family of aspecific DNA‐binding proteins, position these members toward the “chromatin organizing” side of the spectrum of DNA binders and propose a regulatory role for Lrs14s in global gene ...

Biomolecules, 2022 In archaeal microorganisms, the compaction and organization of the chromosome into a dynamic but condensed structure is mediated by diverse chromatin-organizing proteins in a lineage-specific manner. While many archaea employ eukaryotic-type histones for

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Autotrophic Crenarchaeota use two different cycles for carbon dioxide fixation. Members of the Sulfolobales use the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (HP/HB) cycle, whereas Desulfurococcales and Thermoproteales use the dicarboxylate/4-hydroxybutyrate
