Viruses of archaea represent one of the most enigmatic parts of the virosphere. Most of the
characterized archaeal viruses infect extremophilic hosts and display remarkable diversity of …

Viruses populate virtually every ecosystem on the planet, including the extreme acidic,
thermal, and saline environments where archaeal organisms can dominate. For example …

We have determined the cryo-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structures of two archaeal type
IV pili (T4P), from Pyrobaculum arsenaticum and Saccharolobus solfataricus, at 3.8 Å and …

Spindle‐shaped virus‐like particles are abundant in extreme geothermal environments, from
which five spindle‐shaped viral species have been isolated to date. They infect members of …

Geothermal and hypersaline environments are rich in virus-like particles, among which
spindle-shaped morphotypes dominate. Currently, viruses with spindle-or lemon-shaped …

The Archaea—and their viruses—remain the most enigmatic of life's three domains. Once
thought to inhabit only extreme environments, archaea are now known to inhabit diverse …

Extremophiles are found in all three domains of cellular life. However, hyperthermic and
hypersaline environments are typically dominated by archaeal cells which also hold the …

Disulfide bonds are generally not used to stabilize proteins in the cytosolic compartments of
bacteria or eukaryotic cells, owing to the chemically reducing nature of those environments …

Fuselloviruses SSV1 and SSV2 are model systems to investigate virus–host relationships in
stably infected cells thanks to their temperate nature. Although they are very similar in …

Saccharolobus spindle-shaped virus 1 (SSV1) was one of the first viruses identified in the
archaeal kingdom. Originally isolated from a Japanese species of Saccharolobus back in …
