Journal ArticleDOI

A new phylum of Archaea represented by a nanosized hyperthermophilic symbiont

TL;DR: The cultivation of a new nanosized hyperthermophilic archaeon from a submarine hot vent is reported, which will provide insight into the evolution of thermophily, of tiny genomes and of interspecies communication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyrolobus fumarii, gen. and sp. nov., represents a novel group of archaea, extending the upper temperature limit for life to 113 degrees C

TL;DR: A novel, irregular, coccoid-shaped archaeum was isolated from a hydrothermally heated black smoker wall at the TAG site at the Mid Atlantic Ridge and described here a new genus, which is named Pyrolobus (the "fire lobe").
Journal ArticleDOI

Layer-by-Layer Assembled Gold Nanoparticles for siRNA Delivery

TL;DR: The manufacture of uniform nanoparticles with the deposition of siRNA on gold in a layer-by-layer approach is demonstrated and the cellular delivery and siRNA activity as functions of surface properties are reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pyrobaculum aerophilum sp. nov., a novel nitrate-reducing hyperthermophilic archaeum.

TL;DR: A rod-shaped hyperthermophilic archaeum has been isolated from a boiling marine water hole at Maronti Beach, Ischia, Italy as discussed by the authors, which is described as a new species, which we name Pyrobaculum aerophilum (type strain: IM2; DSM 7523).
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferroglobus placidus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel hyperthermophilic archaeum that oxidizes Fe2+ at neutral pH under anoxic conditions

TL;DR: A novel coccoid, anaerobic, Fe2+-oxidizing archaeum was isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal system at Vulcano, Italy and represents a novel genus among the Archaeoglobales that is named Ferroglobus.
