This project focuses on understanding the unique flagellum structure of archaea, termed the archaellum. It aims to explore its assembly and rotation mechanisms in the organism Sulfolobus acidocaldarius using biochemical and genetic methods.
Archaea constitute the third domain of life and are believed to be close to the origin of life.
They comprise a diverse group of micro-organisms that combine bacterial and eukaryotic features, but also employ many novel mechanisms.
They possess a unique cell envelope with a cytoplasmic membrane of ether lipids surrounded by a proteinaceous S-layer and various cell appendages such as flagella, pili and more unusual structures.
Studies have shown that the archaeal flagellum is an unique structure…
