When it comes to reproduction, archaea reproduce asexually by binary fission, multiple fission, fragmentation, or budding. While the modes of division are similar to bacteria, the archaeal DNA ...

One example that has radically changed the face of biology is the discovery of a group of organisms called archaea (pronounced “ar-kee-ah”). It was thought that all creatures on Earth were divided ...

So archaea have been a blind spot within a blind spot. But by examining the ones we can culture, ... For example, some of the enzymes they use to process, ...

The microbes most likely to lack a reference genome are, of course, archaea. For example, the Joint Genome Institute’s genome database has nearly 50,000 bacteria and just 1,000 archaea.

Archaea make up one of the main divisions of life, next to the Bacteria and the Eukaryotes, the latter of which comprise for example fungi, plants and animals.

In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki discovered gene fragments indicating a new ...
