Content: The three groups are thermophiles, halophiles and methanogenes. Archaebacteria have evolutionary similarities to both eubacteria and eukaryotic organisms, such as humans. The domain bacteria contains the kingdom eubacteria and is known as true bacteria. This domain contains the bacteria that are in our digestive systems, used to make food items, such as yogurt, and sometimes cause diseases. We can use antibiotics to kill bacteria and to treat diseases caused by these prokaryotes. While prokaryotes may seem unimportant because of their size and simplicity, both archaebacteria and eubacteria play vital roles in our lives. Learning Outcomes
