Halobacterium salinarum was shown to be powered by ATP hydrolysis. Although the similarities between T4P and archaella suggested that ATP hydrolysis could power this organelle, this discovery identified another major difference between archaella and flagella, as flagella are powered by a cation pump. This period of time also saw some of the initial research on chemotaxis in archaea, although the initial analyses of archaeal genomes had already suggested that
