In a paper published in Science Advances, the Pilhofer Lab (IMBB) together with the Albers Lab from the University of ...

Single-celled organisms called archaea can become multicellular when compressed, highlighting the role of physical forces in ...

Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar biologically (members of both groups consist of tiny cells without much internal structure) and different from eukaryotes. However, until ...

Seeps on the deep seafloor naturally emit alkanes, which are pollutants that are potentially dangerous to life and act on global warming. Fortunately, the sediments around the seeps host microbes that ...

I studied bacteria and another type of microbe called archaea from hot environments for many years to learn how they might have evolved on early Earth, but I still have so many unanswered questions.

Scientists characterize novel enzymes from deep-sea microbes with a key function in the ethane degradation process, revealing surprises in the metabolism of these organisms. Seeps on the deep ...

But there are none. Instead, there is a yawning gulf. On one side there are the tiny bacteria and archaea, collectively known as prokaryotes. On the other side there are the huge and unwieldy ...

A renewable natural gas plant has opened in Schuylkill County.
