A Micrarchaeon Isolate Is Covered by a Proteinaceous S-Layer
Résumé
Our knowledge about the DPANN superphylum, which comprises several archaeal phyla with limited metabolic capacities, is mostly based on genomic data derived from cultivation-independent approaches. This study examined the surface structure of a recently cultivated member “ Candidatus Micrarchaeum harzensis A_DKE,” an archaeal symbiont dependent on an interaction with a host organism for growth.
