The archaebacteria kingdom is one of the six kingdoms. Organisms in this kingdom are also called Bacteria; they are unicellular and live in very extreme environments.

The "common bacteria" belongs to another kingdom; the Eubacteria kingdom, bacteria in this kingdom differ from bacteria in the archaebacteria kingdom and they do not live in extreme environments.

Exteremophiles. Not all Archaea are Exteremophiles, and not all extremophile are Archaea. There are examples of mesophilic Arachea species, which are species that thrive at a moderate temperature. There are also examples of bacterial and multicellular extremophiles.

What are four types of toxic extremophiles?

An extremophile is any microbe that thrives in extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, salinity, or concentrations of hostile chemicals. Many extremophiles belong to the kingdom Archaea, also known as Archaebacteria, and most known Archaebacteria are extremophiles. There are also extremophiles to be found outside the kingdom Archaea; for example there are bacteria and eukaryotic prokaryotes that are extremophiles, as well as species of worm, crustacean, and krill.

What is archaebacteria comprised of?

Archae is the third major domain of life on earth with similarities to both Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. Their main differentiating features are that they have different rRNA genes on their 17s small ribosomal subunit, ether linked fatty acids (as opposed to ester links in the other 2 domains), a cell wall similar to gram positive baceria yet lacking peptidoglycan and instead having pseudopeptidoglycan, as well as major differences in the structure of their flagella. Archae are most widely known for their presence in highly inhospitable environments and are known as extremophiles.
