Scientists have identified tubulin structures in primitive Asgard archea that may have been the precursor of our own cellular ...

A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials As bacteria become increasingly resistant to ...

Microbes include bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae and archaea (single-celled microorganisms with a bacteria-like structure).

They've survived for billions of years in boiling acid, deep-sea vents and salt flats. Now, some of Earth's oldest life forms - microbes called Archaea - are offering a new weapon in the fight against ...

Following the drive to understand and control bacteria, it’s becoming clear that our methods have changed the very organisms we aim to understand, increasing resistance to tried-and-true antimicrobial ...

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cultivarium, a non-profit bioengineering firm, announced today a three-year project to develop advanced tools for life scientists studying fungi and archaea. With ...

Study of Asgard archaea reveals insights into the evolution of cellular complexity through analysis of cytoskeletal proteins.

There are no real phoenixes hiding anywhere. But science has revealed that some living things can take quite a bit of heat.
