In the coming years and decades, advanced space-and ground-based observatories will
allow an unprecedented opportunity to probe the atmospheres and surfaces of potentially …

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the methane-forming step in methanogenic
archaea. The active enzyme harbors the nickel (I) hydrocorphin coenzyme F-430 as a …

The recently discovered DPANN archaea are a potentially deep-branching, monophyletic
radiation of organisms with small cells and genomes. However, the monophyly and early …

Salt caverns are a safe and well-proven reservoir for large-scale natural gas storage and
hence, a potential hydrogen storage. Contrary to natural gas, hydrogen is a favorable …

Background Archaea are one of the least-studied members of the gut-dwelling
autochthonous microbiota. Few studies have reported the dominance of methanogens in the …

Currently, there are four mainstream taxonomic opinions on the classification of the class
Halobacteria at the family and order levels. The International Committee on Systematics of …

As a group, the halophilic archaea (class Halobacteria) are the most salt-requiring and salt-
resistant microorganisms within the domain Archaea. Halophilic archaea flourish in …

Introduction Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are
leading causes of visual impairment and blindness in people aged 50 years or older in …

Abstract Background Candidatus Nanohaloarchaeota, an archaeal phylum within the
DPANN superphylum, is characterized by limited metabolic capabilities and limited …

Hypersaline wastewater is difficult to treat due to the inhibition of salt stress on microbes'
viability and metabolic capabilities. Haloarchaea, native microorganisms that thrive in …
