The characteristic that allows archaebacteria to live in extreme environments are their adaptations. They are regarded as extremophiles with the ability to detect and identify organisms in any environment.

They are like normal bacteria, except they can survive in extreme climates, such as areas that are really hot or really cold. They are prokaryotic and unicellular. One type, called halophiles, live in very salty environments. Another type called thermophiles live in extremely hot places.

What structural charateristics of archaebacteria allows them to live in extreme environments?

This is a sac like organelle/structure called the endospore which is found in the nucleoid region of a particular archaebacteria. It contains the major chromosome that dictates all necessary cellular functions such as metabolism. It(endospore) is enclosed by a durable wall and even when the outer cell is destroyed the endospore contained survives all sorts of trauma, including lack of food,water, extreme fluctuations in temperature and most toxins. I mean you can't even boil some prokaryotes. They are freakin' crazy!This is a sac like organelle/structure called the endospore which is found in the nucleoid region of a particular archaebacteria.
