Archaebacteria

-


Archaebacteria is a group of single celled organisms that lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. They can survive in very salty, hot, and acidic environments. Archaebacteria can be broken into three types; crenachaeota, euryarchaeota, and korarchaeota. Crenarchaeota are extremely heat-tolerant. Euryarchaeota are able to survive in very salty habitats and Korarchaeota, found in hydro-thermal environments, are thought to be the oldest life on earth. I was unable to photograph an archaebacteria so objects describing their environment are shown above.
