Members of the kingdom <i>Nanobdellati</i>, previously known as DPANN archaea, are characterized by ultrasmall cell sizes and reduced genomes. They primarily thrive through ectosymbiotic interactions with specific hosts in diverse environments. Recent successful cultivations have emphasized the importance of adhesion to host cells for understanding the ecophysiology of <i>Nanobdellati</i>. Cell adhesion is often mediated by cell surface carbohydrates, and in archaea, this may be facilitated by t ...[more]
