Did @Sophie_AnjaS just close my genome? Time to party! @ProbstLab

I am being long-read sequenced by @Sophie_AnjaS !

@archaearama @chmoei Someone shouldn‘t forget that I was discovered by the group around Robert Huber, and that wasn‘t in that spring but in a swamp!
check out the original paper and the first published image of Altiarchaea:

I get frequently infected by viruses, check out this preprint by @ProbstLab about visualizing my infections! At least my CRISPR-Cas immunity seems to work well and adapt!

Check out my biogeography across the globe! My core genome is highly conserved! https://t.co/F5Wnx7SU8l

One for you @altiarchaeum 😆

@taubert_martin @PatriciaGeesink @PatriciaGeesink are you vomiting sweets? New metabolism discovered!

I have hundreds of these hooks on my cell surface! They are unique to my genus and so far not found at any other microbe or Altiarchaeota! https://t.co/ZZK99qv6WZ

@nir_eynon @OdedRechavi indicates that the person might have good social skills. don’t think this is stupid.

This is how I was discovered: Living at the surface in symbiosis with a heavily respiring sulfur oxidizer, which generates an anoxic environment for me. https://t.co/eo6ESeSLYQ
