Surprisingly, this was true even in the two prokaryotic Domains of Bacteria and Archaea. Beginning in the 1980s, evidence gradually accumulated that convincingly demonstrated that the motility organelle in Archaea was unrelated to that found in Bacteria, but surprisingly shared significant similarities to type IV pili. This information culminated in the proposal, in 2012, that the 'archaeal flagellum' be assigned a new name, the archaellum. In this review, we provide a historical overview on archaella and motility research in Archaea, beginning with the first simple observations of motile extreme halophilic archaea a century ago up to state-of-the-art cryo-tomography of the archaellum motor complex and filament observed today. In addition to structural and biochemical data which revealed the archaellum to be a type IV pilus-like structure repurposed as a rotating nanomachine (Beeby <i>et al</i>. 2020), we also review the initial discoveries and subsequent advances using a wide variety of approaches to reveal: complex regulatory events that lead to the assembly of the archaellum filaments (archaellation); the roles of the various archaellum proteins; key post-translational modifications of the archaellum structural subunits; evolutionary relationships; functions of archaella other than motility and the biotechnological potential of this fascinating structure. The progress made in understanding the structure and assembly of the archaellum is highlighted by comparing early models to what is known today.</p>","PeriodicalId":73024,"journal":{"name":"FEMS microbes","volume":"2 ","pages":"xtab002"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/10/dd/xtab002.PMC10117864.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9662964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we analysed these traits from publicly available metagenomes derived from marine, soil, host-associated and thermophilic communities. In marine and thermophilic communities, genome size and GC content declined in parallel, consistent with genomic streamlining, with GC content in thermophilic communities generally higher than in marine systems. In contrast, soil communities averaging smaller genomes featured higher GC content and were often from low-carbon environments, suggesting unique selection pressures in soil bacteria. The abundance of specific σ-factors varied with average genome size and ecosystem type. In oceans, abundance of <i>fliA</i>, a σ-factor controlling flagella biosynthesis, was positively correlated with community average genome size-reflecting known trade-offs between nutrient conservation and chemotaxis. In soils, a high abundance of the stress response σ-factor gene <i>rpoS</i> was associated with smaller average genome size and often located in harsh and/or carbon-limited environments-a result which tracks features observed in culture and indicates an increased capacity for stress response in nutrient-poor soils. This work shows how ecosystem-specific constraints are associated with trade-offs which are embedded in the genomic features of bacteria in microbial communities, and which can be detected at the community level, highlighting the importance of genomic features in microbial community analysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":73024,"journal":{"name":"FEMS microbes","volume":"2 ","pages":"xtab020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10117780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9661510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we provide evidence that <i>E. faecalis</i> can colonize the endocardial surface without pre-existing damage and in the absence of thrombus formation in a rabbit endovascular infection model.

Unexpectedly, ultrastructural imaging revealed that the microcolonies were firmly attached directly to the endocardium in areas without morphological evidence of gross tissue damage. Further, the attached bacterial aggregates were not associated with significant cellular components of coagulation or host extracellular matrix damage repair (i.e. platelets). These results suggest that the canonical model of mechanical surface damage as a prerequisite for bacterial attachment to host sub-endothelial components is not required. Furthermore, these findings are consistent with a model of initial establishment of stable, endocarditis-associated <i>E. faecalis</i> biofilm microcolonies that may provide a reservoir for the eventual valvular infection characteristic of clinical endocarditis.
