Extreme halophiles. Extremely halophilic archaea thrive in environments with salt concentrations above 150–200 g l −1.

Other members of this phylum include the halophiles, salt-lovers which thrive in places such as the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea, but would die in normal drinking water; and Ferroglobus placidus, ...

The Dead Sea is not completely dead. The most saline lake on Earth (more than 10 times saltier than sea water) is a harsh environment where only salt-loving microbes from the Archaea domain, known ...

Halophiles are a type of archaea. The branch of life known as Archaea includes only those varieties of microbes that can exist in the most volatile environments.

O ver 1500 bacterial species can cause human disease, as can hundreds of eukaryotic pests, like fungi, protists, and helminth worms.But there is a third domain of life missing from medical literature: ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

In recent years, Archaea's connection to us has been pretty huge and surprising. The unexpected discovery of an entirely new domain of life was pretty huge and surprising - even if archaea do just ...

Like bacteria, archaea are single-celled organisms. Genetically, however, there are significant differences between the two domains, especially regarding their cell envelopes and metabolic processes.

Archaea, key players in the human microbiome, are linked to various diseases but their pathogenic potential remains speculative. This study highlights their role in conditions like periodontitis ...
