From different angles, EMBL researchers are looking at archaea with the hope these understudied organisms will answer questions about evolution, adaptability, and more. Archaea are literally ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. DNA is often described as the language ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

BP Plc unit Archaea Energy Inc. and its founders plan to end a corporate looting case by paying $55 million and selling another affiliate, Noble Environmental Inc. The agreement disclosed Tuesday ...

Following the drive to understand and control bacteria, it’s becoming clear that our methods have changed the very organisms we aim to understand, increasing resistance to tried-and-true antimicrobial ...

A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials As bacteria become increasingly resistant to ...

They've survived for billions of years in boiling acid, deep-sea vents and salt flats. Now, some of Earth's oldest life forms - microbes called Archaea - are offering a new weapon in the fight against ...

Most organisms synthesize proteins using the 20 standard amino acids with a few notable exceptions: those that encode Selenocysteine (Sec) or Pyrrolysine (Pyl). We focus on Pyl, which is widespread in ...

Archaea Energy has brought online 15 plants in the last 14 months. Archaea sold first gas at the 15th plant, the Lightning Renewables-owned plant in De Soto, Illinois on May 22. Lightning Renewables ...
