Hey there!
Welcome to the Joyful Microbe!

Content: Many archaea are famous for being able to survive in extreme conditions (hot, salty, or acidic), which earns those archaeal species the name extremophiles. However, not all archaea are extremophiles. So far, no disease-causing archaea have been discovered. Examples: hot spring dwelling Sulfolobus
salt-loving Haloarchaea
human gut-dwelling Methanobrevibacter
Where you can find them: you can find archaea anywhere you find bacteria, which is nearly everywhere; you may not be able to see archaea extremophiles on a daily basis, but if you have the chance, go see them in the hydrothermal waters of Yellowstone National Park ( go see the Grand Prismatic Spring) and salty environments like the Dead Sea and the Great Salt Lake. However, we have archaea living on (skin) and in (gut, mouth) us as a part of our microbiome. So, you can also simply know that you are carrying them with you all the time. Archaea appear as the cream or yellow-colored sections of the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park.
