Abstrakt

A series of seminal genomic and biochemical studies have confirmed that Archaea form a separate and coherent evolutionary lineage with specific connections to eukaryotes. Previously unrecognized lineages were discovered as global players in carbon and nitrogen cycles. Their unique molecular and metabolic features and their widespread environmental occurrence make Archaea increasingly important study objects for biotechnology, ecology, human health, and evolutionary transitions.
