@diorgeps.bsky.socialWhere did eukaryogenesis likely happened? We studied a modern analog: microbial mats from a sulfidic, low O2, volcanic crater lake in the Afar region. Asgardarchaea thrive in the SO4-reduction zone along SO4-reducers :) @deemteam.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...
Show PostIt was great working with such a fun group of people on this project! Check out our newest paper below on the evolution and structure of ribosome hibernation in archaea 🦠😴
Show PostOur paper on the dynamics of Asgard archaea (Promethearchaeota) is now out in Nature! Huge thanks to the reviewers for helping make the manuscript stronger. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Two “Lokis” stained for Lokiactin (FastAct, magenta), reaching toward each other to celebrate 🎉 #archaea
Show PostThe first paper of my PostDoc in Christa Schlepers group (@archaea-vienna.bsky.social) on the dynamics of Asgard archaea is now out in Nature! www.nature.com/articles/s41... This was a great team effort and I am looking forward to uncover the complex behavior of these cells further!
Show PostHow about stress-induced ribosome hibernation in archaea? @diorgeps.bsky.social, @archaeon-alex.bsky.social, Joey Davis et al identify conserved archaeal factor AHA with evolutionary link to bacterial hibernation-promoting factor HPF & eukaryotic energy sensor AMPKγ link.springer.com/article/10.1...
