Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

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 …

Prokaryotes, bacteria and archaea, are the most abundant cellular organisms among those
sharing the planet Earth with human beings (among others). However, numerous ecological …

DNA viruses of the Archaea have highly diverse and often exceptionally complex
morphotypes. Many have been isolated from geothermally heated hot environments, raising …

Much of the diversity of prokaryotic viruses has yet to be described. In particular, there are no
viral isolates that infect abundant, globally significant marine archaea including the phylum …

This review presents a personal account of research on archaeal viruses and describes
many new viral species and families, demonstrating that viruses of Archaea constitute a …

With a rich variety of chemical energy sources and steep physical and chemical gradients,
hydrothermal vent systems offer a range of habitats to support microbial life. Cultivation …

Thermophilic viruses were reported decades ago; however, knowledge of their diversity,
biology, and ecological impact is limited. Previous research on thermophilic viruses focused …

In terms of virion morphology, the known viruses of archaea fall into two distinct classes:
viruses of mesophilic and moderately thermophilic Eueryarchaeota closely resemble head …

Since their discovery in the early 1980s, viruses that infect the third domain of life, the
Archaea, have captivated our attention because of their virions' unusual morphologies and …
