Really nice work by the Probst lab at the University of Duisburg-Essen with support from our Beisel lab: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01439-2

Oil rich soil from the Guaymas Basin has provided German scientists understanding of a mechanism by which archaea in the Alkanophaga break down alkane molecules and thus degrade petroleum through oxidation.

With Eugene Koonin and Valerian Dolja, we did our best to reconstruct the potential virome of the last eukaryotic common ancestor (#LECA) and discuss why #archaea virome apparently had little contribution to the evolution of eukaryotic #virosphere. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-023-01378-y

• What kind of life do we expect in hot environments?
We expect LUCAs. Last Universal Common Ancestors (not my little brother). LUCA was probably attracted to heat (thermophile).
• What does a #thermophile look like?
We need something resistant: so we are likely looking for an #archaea!

Tree of life. Designed by Leonard Eisenberg, has been drawn to show all the major, and some of the minor, branches of life tied to a geologic time scale. Enjoy it!

Borgs in Archaea
by Mechas
Microbes never cease to surprise, as should be evident to long-time STC readers. Now we are presented with a novel mechanism that allows archaea to expand their gene content and metabolic capacity. This unforeseen discovery also illustrates the importance not only of having the right tools (and funding) but also of being prepared to find the unexpected.

Taking a momentary break from writing about alarming and terrifying news to post some fascinating #science.
"Mysterious #Asgard #archaea #microbes reveal their inner secrets
A microorganism that is a proposed relative of our #cellularancestors has been grown successfully in the laboratory. Its internal architecture offers clues to the early #evolution of #eukaryoticcells ."

Interesting to note that almost half the diagram is for archaea.
