Archaebacteria Examples
Archaebacteria are primitive, single-celled microorganisms that are prokaryotes with no cell nucleus. Each archaea has the ability to live in very severe environments. Archaebacteria Examples
Archaebacteria are classified as one of the six kingdoms of life that living organisms are broken into: plants, animals, protists, fungi, eubacteria (or true bacteria), and archaebacteria. Archaebacteria examples have unusual cell walls, membranes, ribosomes, and RNA sequences. They often have the ability to produce methane. Advertisement
Crenarchaeota Examples
One type of archaebacteria is crenarchaeota, which can live in extreme temperatures or acidity. Examples include: Acidilobus saccharovorans
Aeropyrum pernix
Desulfurococcus kamchatkensis
Hyperthermus butylicus
Igniococcus hospitalis
Ignisphaera aggregans
Pyrolobus fumarii
Staphylothermus hellenicus
Staphylothermus marinus
Thermosphaera aggregans
Acidianus hospitalis
Metallosphaera cuprina
Metallosphaera sedula
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius
Sulfolobus islandicus
Sulfolobus solfataricus
Sulfolobus tokodaii
Caldivirg maquilingensis
Pyrobaculum aerophilum
Pyrobaculum arsenaticum
Pyrobaculum calidifontis
Pyrobaculum islandicum
Thermofilum pendens
Thermoproteus neutrophilus
Thermoproteus tenax
Thermoproteus uzoniensis
Vulcanisaeta distributa
Vulcanisaeta moutnovskia
Euryarchaeota Examples
Another type of archaebacteria is euryarchaeota, which include ones who produce methane or live in water with high salt content. Examples include:
