DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.02.038
Abstract: 40 years ago, Woese and Fox described the tree of life as we know it today, with three branches representing Eukaryota, Bacteria, and Archaea. In the last few decades, important findings have shaken our picture… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00980-z
Abstract: The chaperonins (CPNs) are megadalton sized hollow complexes with two cavities that open and close to encapsulate non-native proteins. CPNs are assigned to two sequence-related groups that have distinct allosteric mechanisms. In Group I CPNs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22736-6
Abstract: Geothermal environments, such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents, are hotspots for carbon cycling and contain many poorly described microbial taxa. Here, we reconstructed 15 archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from terrestrial hot spring sediments in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-30222-1
Abstract: The phylogenetic assignment of archaeal communities is constantly evolving, and the recent discovery of new phyla that grouped into superphyla has provided novel insights into archaeal ecology and evolution in ecosystems. In intertidal sediments, archaea… read more here.

Abstract: A key maxim in modernist architecture is that ‘form follows function'. While modernist buildings are hopefully the product of intelligent design, the architectures of chromosomes have been sculpted by the forces of evolution over many… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/femsle/fny273
Abstract: Environmental changes in the polar oceans are more pronounced than in other regions. The lack of knowledge regarding the microbial diversity, distribution and succession in the polar oceans has hampered our understanding about the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2022.832160
Abstract: Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) are a ubiquitous group of ATP-independent chaperones found in all three domains of life. Although sHsps in bacteria and eukaryotes have been studied extensively, little information was available on their… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.12868
Abstract: Soil microbes are an essential component of terrestrial ecosystems and drive many biogeochemical processes throughout the soil profile. Prior field studies mainly focused on the vertical patterns of soil microbial communities, meaning their temporal dynamics… read more here.
