Antimicrobials produced by archaea can kill bacteria
As bacteria become increasingly resistant to antibiotics and other antibacterials, there is a growing need for alternatives. In a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, Tobias ...
Antarctic dwelling single-celled microorganisms called archaea can behave like parasites, new research shows. In Antarctica is a small lake, called Deep Lake, that is so salty it remains ice-free all ...

Bacteria and archaea wage microscopic wars
Scientists are uncovering the surprising ways bacteria and archaea differ — and how these differences could be turned into weapons against dangerous infections. From bacteria’s peptidoglycan walls to ...
A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials As bacteria become increasingly resistant to ...
