Sentences with phrase «archaeal groups»

By utilizing metagenomic data from newly discovered bacterial and archaeal groups, we are able to perform exploratory evolutionary analyses and test specific hypothesis regarding the origins of various systems.

By using new methods to obtain genome data from microbes that can not be grown in the laboratory, we identified a new archaeal group that is related to the host cell from which eukaryotic cells evolved.

Not exact matches

Despite that archaeal cells were simple and small like bacteria, researchers found that Archaea were more closely related to organisms with complex cell types, a group collectively known as «eukaryotes».

Recently discovered archaeal lineages include mesophiles and (hyper --RRB- thermophiles, anaerobes and aerobes, autotrophs and heterotrophs, a large diversity of putative archaeal symbionts, as well as previously unknown acetogens and different groups of methanogens (see the figure).

The lineages of these groups are not restricted to extreme habitats, as was once thought common for archaeal species; rather, archaea are widespread and occur in all thinkable environments on Earth, where they can make up substantial portions of the microbial biomass.

Despite that archaeal cells were simple and small like bacteria, Woese found that Archaea were more closely related to organisms with complex cell types, a group collectively known as «eukaryotes».

My research is framed within the Wellcome Trust consortium on the archaeal origins of eukaryotic cell organization (http://evocyt.com/), which includes a diverse group of researchers studying the evolution of eukaryotic machinery from different points of view — e.g. how do specific cellular systems work in different lineages, and how did that affect the origin of the eukaryotic cell plan?
