Archaea: Bacteria's Pacifist Cousins?

Описание: Archaea are single-celled organisms that comprise the oft-forgot third domain of life. They live on and inside of you and have had ample opportunity to evolve a pathogenic lifestyle. But incredibly, no Archaean pathogen has been discovered to date. What's that all about?
