Earth’s immense web of life fill three broad domains—archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Scientists from Monash University recently discovered hydrogen-producing enzymes in archaea, which were ...

Finally, the three-domain structure of Woese's tree (Figure 1a) shows that evolutionary history is decoupled from biological organization. Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar ...

One of these involves fusion between cells from domains Archaea and Bacteria: one of the cells involved in the fusion becomes the eukaryote nucleus (Martin & Muller 1998; Martin 2005; Martin et al.

Biotechnologists now have the opportunity to take inspiration from these archaea to produce hydrogen industrially." At the ...

The protocol consisted of digestion and two-dimensional electrophoresis of radioactive small-subunit (16S or 18S) ribosomal RNA. When exposed to X-ray film, the separated fragments generated a unique ...

In the three-domain model, eukaryotes belong to a separate branch that shares a common ancestor with archaea. But phylogenetic analyses suggest that complex cells emerged from within the archaea. This ...

On one side there are the tiny bacteria and archaea, collectively known as prokaryotes. On the other side there are the huge and unwieldy eukaryotes, the third great domain of life. A typical ...
