With the 50th anniversary of #Archaea research coming up, read our latest review on one of its defining (and my favorite) model organisms: Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. #ArchaeaSky @archaellum.bsky.social, @sshamphavi.bsky.social, @michaelspaedt.bsky.social journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

We’re at the #EMBOMBoA !! Find us for a chat if you’re interested in submitting a protocol or joining our science board. #archaea

Look at this nice cover: beautiful archaella, image made by @sshamphavi.bsky.social ! Thanks also to Marta Rodeiguez for keeping the EM im shape in @ottlab.bsky.social lab! At @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social at @uni-freiburg.de @sfb1381.bsky.social @cibss.bsky.social

Congrats to @sshamphavi.bsky.social : her image of archaella made it on the cover of @natmicrobiol.nature.com !

The archaeal S-layer is not only pretty, it also carries crucial cellular functions, and the list keeps growing! @sshamphavi.bsky.social @marleenvw.bsky.social @archaellum.bsky.social and I wrote a little sheath sheet (+10 pts if you got the pun) 📖 Curr Opin Cell Biol 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

The S-layer is the most widespread and fundamental component of archaeal cell envelopes and may represent one of the earliest and most fundamental cell wall polymers found in microorganisms

Preprint alert! I’m publishing my last paper from my postdoc work on archaeal cell biology, with @mullinslab.bsky.social, @archaellum.bsky.social, @samjlord.bsky.social, @marleenvw.bsky.social, @arghya93.bsky.social, and more great folks (thread below with more details)

Archaeal SegAB forms a bipolar structure that promotes chromosome segregation in spherical cells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.15.649018v1

It’s been an honor and a joy to be part of your Sulfolobus-journey! 🥳

For my birthday today, I got a cake for the lab celebrating another special date: this year, it is 30 years that I have worked with Sulfolobus, 15 years since she started her PhD with me, and with all the others in the lab, we combined more than 50 years of experience working with Sulfolobus!

UV light damages DNA, but #archaea fight back! 🦠✨ @marleenvw.bsky.social & @archaellum.bsky.social team presents a model where Sulfolobales use Ups pili for aggregation and the Ced system for DNA exchange and repair. @alerecalde.bsky.social https://buff.ly/43bGLuC
