Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their identification four decades ago, Archaea have proven to be a continuous source of exciting discoveries, contributing to the characterization of their unique molecular mechanisms, metabolisms, phylogeny, and cell biology. These discoveries have revealed the importance that Archaea play in ecology, biotechnology and the human microbiome. In addition, they highlighted the key position that Archaea occupy in the tree of life, bringing us closer to elucidating the origin and early forms of life. Despite these important findings and the larger audience that Archaea have consequently gained, much remains unexplored. Thanks to the recent and ongoing developments in the field, technical limitations at the often-extreme archaeal growth conditions are being resolved, allowing archaeal researchers to answer open and upcoming questions. This promises exciting new findings in the near future that will continue to build on our understanding of the various fields of archaeal biology.
