Eukaryotes—the building blocks of complex life—appeared on Earth 1.7 billion years ago, and now scientists have solved a ...
The newly described archaeon Sukunaarchaeum mirabile carries the smallest known genome among Archaea and blurs life’s limits.
Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...
But one of the most radiation-resistant organisms ever discovered doesn't come from anywhere radioactive at all. An archaeon ...

Sulfolobus islandicus, an archaeal model organism, offers unique advantages for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology applications owing to its ability to thrive under low pH and high ...
Within this dinoflagellate plankton (Citharistes regius) is a tiny microbe that acts more like a virus than a cell. Credit: Takuro Nakayama/University of Tsukuba In the dim waters off the Japanese ...
Researchers uncovered a microbe that treats one stop codon as both a termination signal and an amino-acid instruction, revealing surprising genetic flexibility that may inspire new ways to influence ...
Slimy layered microbial mats in Shark Bay are more than seaside oddities. They are living laboratories where bacteria and archaea still work side by side, much as they may have done long ago. A new co ...
