Content: Archaebacteria in Kingdom Monera
As compared to eubacteria, archaebacteria are more primitive being the oldest organisms on earth. While they are also less common in comparison to eubacteria, archaebacteria are capable of surviving such extreme environmental conditions as hot springs and very salty and acidic environments etc. Within this subkingdom, organisms can be classified/grouped on the basis of the environment in which they reside: Methanogenic bacteria (methanogens) - Bacteria that can be found in the intestinal tract of animals as well as sewage matter. They are capable of producing methane in hypoxic conditions. Some examples of methanogenic bacteria include: Methanobrevibacter smithii
Methanococcus maripaludis
Methanobrevibacter ruminantium

Thermoacidophilic bacteria (thermoacidophiles) - These are bacteria that can be found living in hot springs. They are also capable of surviving in environmental conditions with very low pH. Thermoplasma Picrophilus is a good example of a thermoacidophiles.
