Group II chaperonins are comprised of the archaeal chaperonins, e.g. the thermosome of the present study, and the eukayotic CCT which occurs in h...... respective systems of higher organisms. Since the archaeal molecules have a simpler composition, they represent a valuable model system for investigating the more complex systems (of higher organisms). On page 508 of the current issue of Nature, Ruepp and colleagues describe the complete genome sequence o...New group of microorganisms discovered in the open sea
...om the surface to 4,750 meters deep. Two specific archaeal groups-pelagic euryarchaeota and pelagic crenarchaeota--were found in high numbers in the samples. In the past, archaea were known as archaebacteria, but it has since been found that they are fundamentally distinct from true bacteria. Very lit...Scientists share multidisciplinary discoveries at 'Earth System Processes'
...ll provide further evidence for a newly discovered archaeal bacterial lineage that consumes methane anaerobically. He gathered this evidence using FISH and iron microbe techniques to measure carbon isotope depletion.

The other group is related to the archaeal prokaryotes, some members of which today can live ...ate," Lake added. "But we are distantly related to archaeal eocyte- and proteobacterial-ancestors, just as we are related to our parents and grandparents." The ...
