AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ultrasmall bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified the strain ...

Archaea are small single-celled microorganisms (microbes) that form one of the three domains of cellular life, along with bacteria and eukaryotes. They do not possess a nucleus and therefore belong to ...

Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus. AIST researchers, in ...

Methane-producing archaea from the species Methanosarcina acetivorans. The microbes are stained with a fluorescent dye that specifically binds to the membranes of archaea. The beauty of the DNA code ...

Featured oral presentation at Digestive Disease Week 2025 demonstrates significant modulatory effects of palatable elemental diet on methanogens in managing the gut microbiome beyond just bacteria ...

Like the human gut, the belly of every bovine contains a microbial engine — engines, really — since cows have four-part stomachs. Those unicellular inhabitants do most of the digestive acrobatics of ...

In an article published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, the authors discussed the involvement of archaea, a lesser-known but important component of the human microbiome, in various ...

Microbiologists show that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more environmentally friendly ...

A study led by microbiologists at TU Dresden shows that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more ...
