The Science Within the archaeal domain, there is a group of tiny hitchhikers. These organisms are abundant and yet … mini genomes to match. As a result, they cannot process all of the chemicals they need to survive. To fill in their nutrient gaps, they must latch onto a larger host — often, a fellow archaeal microbe. Understanding how these …
