New paper out @nature.com !
We discovered an enzyme that specifically cleaves the cell wall of methanogens, revealing a new chemical structure of archaeal peptidoglycan, 50 yrs after its first description

When genus deserves to be a family 🦠🔬

Recent phylogenomic analyses showed that the genus Methanobrevibacter is severely underclassified. We propose reclassifying it into a family, Methanobrevibacteraceae consisting of 11 genera.

PAPER ALERT!!!
For over 20 years, circular pre-rRNA intermediates were thought to be a specific and universal requirement for archaeal ribosome biogenesis.

no, the diderm 𝘐𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 did 𝗻𝗼𝘁 invent the nucleus, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 something pretty similar to 'closed mitosis' (as in yeast).
