Recent findings have shaken our picture of the biology of the archaea and revealed novel
traits beyond archaeal extremophily and supposed 'primitiveness'. The archaea constitute a …

Due to the significance of the microbiome on human health, much of the current data
available regarding microbiome functionality is centered on human medicine. For …

Archaea are common constituents of the gut microbiome of humans, ruminants, and termites
but little is known about their diversity and abundance in other animals. Here, we analyse …

During attempts to obtain novel, human-associated species of the domain Archaea, a
coccoid micro-organism, designated strain B10T, was isolated in pure culture from a sample …

Rumen methanogens are major sources of anthropogenic methane emissions, and these
archaea are targets in strategies aimed at reducing methane emissions. Here we show that …

The Euryarchaeota comprise both methanogenic and nonmethanogenic orders and many
lineages of uncultivated archaea with unknown properties. One of these deep-branching …

This book presents a series of chapters on the current knowledge with an emphasis on the
interactions of host animal with the microbes in the rumen. The whole content is divided into …

Increasing evidence from sequence data from various environments, including the human
gut, suggests the existence of a previously unknown putative seventh order of methanogens …

Research on methanogenic Archaea has experienced a revival, with many novel lineages of
methanogens recently being found through cultivation and suggested via metagenomics …

The Tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii) harbors unique gut bacteria and produces only
one-fifth the amount of methane produced by ruminants per unit of digestible energy intake …
