A recent study has shown that they also have the potential to fix inorganic carbon—in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2)— to generate acetate, an important fuel for other sediment-dwelling organisms ...

Marine environments, particularly deep ocean sediments, were found to harbor high abundances of archaea, which thrive in low-energy conditions. Meanwhile, terrestrial environments, such as caves ...

This is particularly true for marine environments and for microbes in the Archaea domain,” added Ruff. They also noted that there’s a gulf of difference between the marine microbes and their ...

Importantly, 189 partial or complete 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase gene sequences were found after searching the Global Ocean Sampling dataset; mesophilic marine archaea that fix carbon by this ...

Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and brackish waters, which ranges from archaea and bacteria to marine mammals, and includes organisms such as corals that affect the shape of the ...

Since the late 1980s, all life forms have been split into three groups on the phylogenetic tree of life: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes and archaea have long been considered “sister ...
