Dynamic protrusions mediate crawling motility in Asgard archaea

Cultivation of Ca. L. ossiferum and M. peptidophilumCa. L. ossiferum enrichment cultures were grown protected from light in lokiarchaeal media in sealed, pressurized serum bottles in an 80:20% N2:CO2 atmosphere (0.3 bars) at 20 °C without shaking, as described previously7. The growth medium composition (per litre) was as follows: 20.7 g NaCl, 5 g MgCl2·6H2O, 2.7 g NaHCO3, 1.36 g … Read more
