The great potential changes and additions to our understanding of microbes and relationships between domains that such an alien organism could bring, as well as applications in biotechnology and medicine, are an awesome thought. Perhaps it also signifies the authors’ sympathies with the inevitable pains of readdressing an already well disputed classification system!<br /><br />It will be very exciting to see just how much this fascinating discovery will affect what we know, and what it will allow us to find out!
