Taxonomy?

Why do these rorganisms not have standard taxonomy (binomial species names, order/class/family etc.)? 198.49.180.40 (talk) 18:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Cell structure and Ecology

The page currently states that "The ARMAN cells appear to penetrate the cell wall to the cytoplasm of the Thermoplasmatales cells." However, I am given to understand based on this press release that it is the other way around, and that the ARMAN cells are penetrated by the Thermoplasma. Can someone who actually knows about these cells please correct the page? Thank you. 75.24.105.59 (talk) 16:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I have corrected the text and added the reference. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:38, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Size limit

From "Cell structure and ecology", paragraph 1: "This has revealed that they are right at the cell size predicted to be the lower limit for life, 0.009 µm³ and 0.04 µm³ (NRC Steering group)." Why are two values given for the size limit? Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Reason for comma

I've put a comma after the words "southwestern Spain" because the word "Spain" is the final element in a geographical place-name series. It now appears thus: "...in extreme environments of Rio Tinto, southwestern Spain, and at..." This was not done for the purpose of adding a serial comma; the comma was not added with the intent of separating the last two predicates, it merely happens to fall at the same place as a comma which would do so (and which this one does). My edit did not have the purpose of imposing a serial comma. Nonetheless, a comma does belong where I have placed this one, for the reason I have stated, above. —catsmoke ^talk 03:24, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
