Single-celled archaea microbes pack their DNA into flexible coils that expand and stretch much like a Slinky does. This kind of molecular gymnastics had never been seen before in other organisms and ...
Advances in DNA sequencing have expanded our view of the microbial world, but the inability to cultivate most microbes has ...

Scientists discover a microscopic cow gut organism with a tiny organelle that may drive most of the methane on Earth’s cattle ranches
Inside every cow’s rumen, trillions of microbes wage a quiet chemical war over hydrogen. Among them are ciliates, ...
Sperm and egg cells, or gametes, are unusual. Egg cells are some of the largest cell types, and sperm are some of the smallest. In humans, these haploid cells come together to form diploid cells. It's ...
Archaea are a relatively recently discovered group of microorganisms that occupy their own branch on the tree of life. Though similar in some ways to bacteria, they are not the same. Researchers have ...
Stromatolites might look like rocks. But they are living relics of ancient systems that thrived on Earth billions of years ...
Archaea are prevalent in a range of environments, from some of the most hostile like volcanoes and permafrost. However, archaea are also common in the human microbiome and as an important part of soil ...
Scientists describe a previously unknown phylum of aquatic Archaea that are likely dependent on partner organisms for growth while potentially being able to conserve some energy by fermentation. In a ...
