The archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius has four different surface filaments. Each of them plays its special role in motility, adhesion, biofilm formation and mating. Our latest cryoEM foray into three of these unique structures is now published: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Did you miss our latest work on hypersaline and chaotropic ecosystems in the Danakil depression, where microbial communities harbour up to 99% of archaea? Go check what life looks like in these unique places: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @deemteam.bsky.social
Extremely acidic proteomes and metabolic flexibility in bacteria and highly diversified archaea thriving in geothermal chaotropic brines - Nature Ecology & Evolution
Metagenome analysis of microbial communities from the Danakil Depression shows that haloarchaea and Nanohaloarchaeota dominate these life-limiting salt-saturated conditions and that these archaea have...
