Finally, the three-domain structure of Woese's tree (Figure 1a) shows that evolutionary history is decoupled from biological organization. Indeed, archaea and bacteria appear very similar ...

Life in these underworlds runs on a very different timeline to Earth's bustling surface. With no sunlight, energy is sparse ...

One of these involves fusion between cells from domains Archaea and Bacteria: one of the cells involved in the fusion becomes the eukaryote nucleus (Martin & Muller 1998; Martin 2005; Martin et al.

The single-cell organism grows branching appendages and contains eukaryote-like genes, though it belongs to the domain Archaea. “This is a monumental paper that reflects a tremendous amount of work ...

Earth’s immense web of life fill three broad domains—archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Scientists from Monash University recently discovered hydrogen-producing enzymes in archaea, which were ...

Biotechnologists now have the opportunity to take inspiration from these archaea to produce hydrogen industrially." At the ...

On one side there are the tiny bacteria and archaea, collectively known as prokaryotes. On the other side there are the huge and unwieldy eukaryotes, the third great domain of life. A typical ...
