The distribution of key components of different archaeal cell biology processes. Squares filled in yellow represent the presence of different cell envelope components: glycocalyx; a double membrane; pseudopeptidoglycan; S-layer. Squares filled in blue represent the presence of cytoskeleton components: tubulin/artubulin; crenactin/actin; CetZ and MreB. Squares filled in green represent the presence of membrane remodeling components: FtsZ, SepF, ESCRT-III and Vps4. Squares filled in red represent the presence of surface structures: archaeallum, type IV pili (T4P) or other surface structures. Representative species of the following phyla have been analyzed: Euryarchaeota, Nano-archaeota (Nano), Thaumarchaeota (Thau), Korarchaeota (K), Crenarchaeota and Asgard (A).
