Novel bacteria parasitizing archaea Successful isolation of ultrasmall bacteria belonging to the CPR, a large phylogenetic group that includes various lineages of uncultivated bacteria Date ...

Tardigrades are near-microscopic animals that can survive some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, including freezing temperatures, crushing pressures, and even the vacuum of space.

Each belongs to the phylum Thermoproteota, which is a different branch to Euryarchaeota. One of the microbes Hatzenpichler and his colleagues cultured belongs to the archaeal group Methanomethylicia, ...

Scientists have known since the 1930s that many anaerobic organisms within the archaea are methanogens, and for decades they believed that all methanogens were in a single phylum: the Euryarchaeota.

Prokaryotes, which comprise both bacteria and archaea, are found everywhere around us. Their detecting, counting, and classification is still a hard matter. This paper's main aim is the prokaryotes ...

Methanogens are single-celled microbes that produce methane and are part of the “Archaea” phylum (ancient, single-celled organisms that do not have cell nuclei and are thought to have been the ...
