- Description
- Archaea constitute one of the primary domains of life. Although many archaea are found in extreme environments, they are ubiquitous in almost all habitats. They play significant roles in the carbon and nitrogen cycling of the earth and are the only producers of the climate gas methane. It is, therefore, surprising how scarce the knowledge about their cell biology is. This is mainly due to the difficulties in establishing archaeal model systems where genetics can be done efficiently. The present advances in our knowledge about archaeal cell division systems (ESCRT III- and FTSZ-based) and the role and structure of archaeal cell surface appendages will be discussed
