Archaea and bacteria are two different domains of cellular life. They are both prokaryotes, as they are unicellular and lack a nucleus. They also look similar (even under a microscope). However, DNA ...

An analysis of marker genes supports the theory that Archaea and Bacteria are separated by a long branch within the tree of life Scientists have found further evidence to support the idea that the ...

In the late 1970s, a new branch was added to the tree of life, and archaea joined bacteria and eukarya, as domain classifications. Archaea and bacteria are both simple forms of cells called ...

Share on Pinterest New research sheds light on archaea — an important part of the human microbiome. Victor Torres/Stocksy The human microbiome includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. Most ...

In the February 5 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Hyman Hartman and Alexei Fedorov describe the use of a genomic approach to investigate the relationship between Eukarya, Archaea and ...

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 ...

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 ...

As bacteria become increasingly resistant to antibiotics and other antibacterials, there is a growing need for alternatives. In a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, Tobias ...

Scientists have found further evidence to support the idea that the primary two domains of life, the Archaea and Bacteria, are separated by a long phylogenetic tree branch and therefore distantly ...
