This novel hyperthermophilic archaea grows best at 80 to 82 degrees Celsius (176-180 Farenheit), close to the boiling point of water. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

Hyperthermophilic microorganisms with optimal growth temperatures above 80 °C occur in both prokaryotic domains, the Bacteria and Archaea. In phylogenetic trees based on ss rRNA they represent ...

In the 1980s, Forterre began to analyse the hyperthermophilic archaea isolated by Stetter and Zillig, looking for reverse gyrase. The enzyme causes the DNA double helix to cross over on itself ...

Hyperthermophilic Archaea that grow on crystalline cellulose at 90 degrees Celsius yielded EBI-244, the most active high-temperature cellulase ever identified.

Archaea, in contrast, have no such universal chromatin proteins, instead using two or more DNA-binding proteins to package DNA. ... (thermophilic or hyperthermophilic). ...

Archaea, a type of single-celled life-form similar to bacteria, keep their DNA wrapped around proteins much in the same way as more complex organisms, researchers report in the Aug. 11 Science.

Deep-sea viruses kill archaea disproportionately more often than bacteria, a killing spree with important impacts on the global carbon cycle. Skip to content. Subscribe or renew today ...
