Why are Haloarchaea so colorful? Their pictorial hues come from carotenoid pigments like bacterioruberin & beta-carotene. These not only create stunning pink & orange tones but also protect the cells from UV & oxidative stress. Likewise, they hold exciting biotech potential! #ARCTECH #Microbiology

The S-layer is a crystalline protein coat found at the cell envelope of most #archaea, forming a hexagonal symmetry resulting in geometric pores. These self-assembling structures have exciting potential for #nanotechnology! The stunning images were provided by the Daum lab. #ARCTECH #microbiology

Here we go! 🦠🧂🔬
Exciting news! 🚀 We're launching #ARCTECH, the first EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network focused on #archaea —a fascinating and resilient domain of life with great #biotech potential.
By addressing key gaps in archaeal research, we aim to unlock the vast potential of these #microorganisms. 🦠🔬
