The irregular gray shape denotes a putative wall-less archaeon that could have been the host of the alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont, whereas the oblong red shape denotes a typical archaeon with ...

The origin of eukaryotes is considered one of the greatest enigmas in biology: according to current doctrine, two prokaryotes, a so-called Asgard archaeon and a bacterium, are believed to have merged.

The culprits are tiny, parasitic archaea of the species Candidatus Nanohaloarchaeum antarcticus that parasitize other ...

In fact, a prevailing hypothesis emerging from genomic and other comparisons is that the first eukaryote actually evolved from collaboration between an archaeon and a bacterium. Scientists study ...

But making it distinctive from the competitor is the Jobe's Biozome - an exclusive microorganism archaeon that's proven to be capable of speeding up the soil material breakdown for faster results. The ...

It’s thought the more complex cells, which we are made of, originated when a bacterium entered an archaeon. Our understanding of what is needed for life has changed. Life almost certainly ...

Introduction: Nitrososphaeria, formerly known as Thaumarchaeota, constitute a diverse and widespread group of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) inhabiting ubiquitously in marine and terrestrial ...

How can a few grams of battery, geared motor, and some nifty materials get a jumping robot over 30 meters into the air? It wasn’t by copying a grasshopper, kangaroo, or an easily scared kitty ...

Graphene-based nanomaterials show promise in drug delivery, but challenges like toxicity and aggregation must be addressed ...
