The tree of life is split into three main branches: eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. Our
knowledge of eukaryotic and bacteria cell biology has been built on a foundation of studies …

Le domaine des archéens représente une troisième lignée de descendance dans
l'évolution, distincte des bactéries et des eucaryotes. Les premières études ont semblé …

Acidophilic micro-organisms are those (mostly prokaryotes) that grow optimally at pH< 3
(extreme acidophiles) or at pH 3–5 (moderate acidophiles). Although once considered to …

The complete genomic sequence of an aerobic thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon, Sulfolobus
tokodaii strain7 which optimally grows at 80° C, at low pH, and under aerobic conditions …

Extremophilic organisms represent a potentially valuable resource for the development of
novel bioprocesses. They can act as a source for stable enzymes and unique biomaterials …

The chemolithoautotroph NT-26 oxidizes arsenite to arsenate by using a periplasmic
arsenite oxidase. Purification and preliminary characterization of the enzyme revealed that it …

Background Biofilm formation has been studied in much detail for a variety of bacterial
species, as it plays a major role in the pathogenicity of bacteria. However, only limited …

Thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the order Sulfolobales thrive in extreme biotopes,
such as sulfuric hot springs and ore deposits. These microorganisms have been model …

In all organisms, the DNA sequence and the structural organization of chromosomes affect
gene expression. The extremely thermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus has one circular …

Background Many proteins or their regions known as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs)
and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) lack unique 3D structure in their native states …
