This Review discusses our current knowledge of the composition of the archaeal cell surface. We describe the wide range of cell wall polymers, O- and N-glycosylated extracellular proteins and ...

To understand how such complexity emerged and the mechanisms in which is regulated, we aim to study the cell biology of Archaea. Low-resolution tree of life representing the distribution and ...

Whitaker and Changyi Zhang, a research scientist at the IGB, wanted to better understand the archaeal cell by studying Sulfolobus islandicus, an archaeal microorganism that is found in geothermal ...

The discovery of this promiscuous enzyme also raises the question of why archaeal cells need all these different cardiolipins. So far, the textbooks refer to cardiolipins as one particular molecule.

Archaea—one of the three primary domains of life alongside bacteria and eukaryotes—are often overlooked and sometimes mistaken for bacteria due to their single-celled nature and lack of a nucleus.

The discovery of this promiscuous enzyme also raises the question of why archaeal cells need all these different cardiolipins. So far, the textbooks refer to cardiolipins as one particular molecule.

Cells with nuclei bear certain similarities to simple archaeal cells, which may help clear up their fuzzy evolutionary past. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

When studying the enzyme that is responsible for producing cardiolipins in archaea (single-cell organisms that constitute a separate domain of life), biochemists at the University of Groningen made a ...

Scientists propose that the eukaryotic branch of this family tree formed when two prokaryotes, an ancient bacterium and archaeal cell, merged, forming a symbiotic relationship maintained over time. 1 ...

When studying the enzyme that is responsible for producing cardiolipins in archaea (single-cell organisms that constitute a separate domain of life), biochemists at the University of Groningen made a ...

Meanwhile, three of the archaeal cells sequenced in the study harbor sigma factors, which initiate RNA transcription and have previously been found only in bacteria. The researchers also found a ...
